Abstract: Renewable source of energy is broadly classified into hydro power, wind power, thermal power and solar power. Solar energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy, and a very good resource for the usage of mankind. With the change in technology, mankind kept on inventing products that can run on solar energy and trying to make maximum use of it. Application of solar energy can be seen in many instances in day-to-day activities of life. For example, the water heaters (powered by solar energy), street lights and traffic signals which use solar energy for electricity input, and lot more. Solar panels can generate and store the energy for future usage. For the last decade, solar energy, as a new source of energy, found difficulty to emerge, because of the technology restrictions. But, with the passage of time, the electricity generated by the solar energy can be stabilized more and can fulfil the daily needs of the households. The objective of the study is to identify the factors affecting the use of solar energy by households and to analyze the factors affecting the acceptance of solar energy by households. Hypothesis test was conducted using statistical tool correlation to test if there is significant relationship between the influencing factors and acceptance of solar energy by domestic households. The main purpose of this study was to understand the adoption and diffusion of solar energy by households for domestic purpose with special reference to Bangalore region. This study will help to understand the perception of households regarding the usage of solar power system for their domestic purposes. A survey was conducted to understand the relationship between the influencing factors and acceptance of solar energy by individual households. From the study it was found that there is a significant relationship between the influencing factors and acceptance of solar energy by the households for their domestic purpose. Therefore, it can be concluded that the there is greater influence of factors such as availability, affordability and acceptance of solar energy by the households.
