Abstract
The aim of the paper is to review extensively the extent of the adoption of solar PV panel installation in residential areas to get an idea of the extraction of the available solar energy. Elaborate content analysis is provided for the extraction of renewable energy and sustainable energy security measures which are the crucial functions of the installation of solar PV panels. The study proposes a research framework with the help of literature by applying the Theory of Planned Behavior model with determinants factors that affect the adoption of solar PV panel installation namely, attitude, subjective norm, availability, affordability of cost, efficiency, and acceptability. The present study is expected to contribute to the literature by shedding light on the identified sustainable energy security practices in the context of solar energy. Further, the study is an eye opener to create awareness of the alternative measures of generating electricity using free natural resources.
