Abstract

Renewable energy is being seen as a transformative solution to meet energy as well as economic challenges at national as well as at a global level. The Government of India has expressed its intent to achieve 100 GW of solar capacity in the country by 2020. However, one such state that lags in harnessing and achieving the solar targets is the state of Jammu and Kashmir despite having the second highest potential of solar energy. Jammu and Kashmir is a power deficit state though it has one of the best potentials in solar energy. Solar rooftop PV systems can solve most of the problems regarding power deficit, but yet people are naïve about solar rooftop PV systems. The purpose of this study is to perform stakeholder analysis to investigate the perceptions of the groups/individuals regarding grid connected solar rooftop PV systems. They have a critical impact on the result of the study as they provide fundamental data on the political, social and economic scenario of any study area. The findings from the investigation underscores that all the projects and programs related to the adoption of a solar rooftop system should concentrate on building awareness.
