Abstract

Energy is necessary for industrial activities and social development. Due to environmental effect of fossil fuels and resource limitation, the importance of using renewable energy is growing. One of the most appropriate renewable energies is solar energy. Photovoltaic cells directly convert solar energy to electricity. In addition to PV technology, selecting an appropriate site is a main concern for PV power plant installation. The aim this article is to select suitable site for photovoltaic installation in a case study, Iran. Four different locations are the primary options for utility scale PV plants installation and the best choice is selected based on a MADM method, TOPSIS.
