A Review on Applications of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) For Solar Panel Selection

Abstract

Solar energy is considered as the most used resources of non-conventional energy compared to Wind and Tidal energy. A photovoltaic (PV) system is used to generate solar energy by photovoltaics. The solar panel is one of the vital parts of a photovoltaic system and there has been a lot of research works reported with the objective of reducing its material costs with better energy efficiency. In order to select the best solar panel, it is necessary to make a balance between tangible and intangible criteria that conflict with each other. The various problems of solar panel selection and the existing methods to solve the problems have been studied elaborated in this research work. The findings of this review paper will help the stakeholders and decision makers in sorting out some of the uncertainties in the selection of Solar panel.
