6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar Cell Production Plant Site Selection”
Do site selection criteria affect the site selection of solar PV projects?
We investigate the degree of importance of criteria affecting the site selection of solar PV projects using a decision-making model. In this study, a new model for determining the weight coefficients of the site selection criteria of solar PV projects based on the logarithmic additive assessment of the weight coefficients (LAAW) is proposed.
Does proximity to populated areas affect solar PV power plant site selection?
Proximity to populated areas is considered widely in the literature as a determining factor for the site selection problem for solar PV power plant (Halder et al. 2021). When the solar PV power plant is near populated areas, the energy transmission cost is reduced; however, this may adversely affect the environment.
