In order to prevent the increase in costs, both financial and social, changes are being made in the Polish energy sector. An antidote to the crisis in the energy industry, also the one caused by the military actions in Ukraine, can be distributed energy from renewable sources implemented by private entities, which the author tries to prove in the article pointing to the factors of attractiveness of this type of investment. The aim of the article is to identify the factors influencing investments in solar energy sources in the area of prosumer energy in Poland. Qualitative research was used in the study (analysis of existing data, review of literature, legal acts and reports. The research shows that there are groups of barriers: legal, administrative, financial, social, educational, etc., which have an impact on the development of the sector of private investments in renewable energy sources in Poland.
