As the modernisation and economic growth gathered pace, energy use since 2000 has almost doubled and power deficit has been a predominant problem in the state of Karnataka. Solar Photovoltaic technology was introduced in India, to enhance energy security, sustainability and capacity addition by solar power. The objective of the Solar policy in the state of Karnataka, was to promote and develop Solar Rooftop generation and technology, to develop R&D, skill development and innovation in the renewable energy sector. The government policy has led to the wide spread installation of Solar Photovoltaic in the state. The Karnataka government policy in Solar Photovoltaic is the Reason for Motivation to install Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic in Commercial buildings in Karnataka. The government provides the external motivation by higher tariff for the exported power to the grid, accelerated depreciation and net metering facility. The idea to incorporate Solar Photovoltaic as a renewable energy source to generate power through a green energy and reduce the energy cost has led to a rippling effect in business. This has made an impact on business and there are business advantages associated with it and it has impacted corporate objectives and developed opportunities for the organization. More over no technology is without pitfalls, the technology comes with its own challenges, which is factored into the scenario. The emerging sustainable benefits of Environmental Social and Financial benefits are assessed through Partial least square structural equation model.
