Abstract

The 'surging demand for energy' has become a new parameter to interpret the growth chart of economies these days. The world's electricity consumption has increased incessantly over the past half a century, due to rising household demand as well as substantial developmental activity in all the nations. Regular energy supply is the major propelling force for productivity and growth in primary sector, secondary sector & tertiary sector, leading to overall economic development. But excessive use of conventional resources for electricity generation has posed big challenge to the sustainability and environmental conservation. Governments of various nations today, are planning to tap renewable and eco-friendly resources for power generation like solar photovoltaic technology and are taking measures to create awareness amongst the organizations as well as domestic users. Present research paper juxtaposes the scope and acceptance of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology for energy generation in India. An empirical study has been made using TAM(Technology Acceptance Model) to assess the adaptability of solar photovoltaic (PV)
technology by the user organizations. Through statistical rigor of regression and path analysis, the relationship between attitude towards use of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology and intention to use solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has been explored, in the light of government initiatives to popularize and commercialize it as additional sustainable energy.
