A comprehensive framework for solar panel technology selection: A BWM‐ MULTIMOOSRAL approach

Abstract

Concerning the overwhelming advantages of solar energy, controlling and exploiting solar energy by using solar panels is one of the main fields of research in the domain of renewable energy. The choice of solar panel technology is highly significant to exploit as much energy as possible. In this paper, the main goal is to select the best technology for solar panels by investigating nine technologies from the first, second, and third generations of solar panels. Moreover, five sustainable criteria of electrical, mechanical, economic, technical, and climate, and 20 subcriteria are given for making decision analysis. Then, the best-worst method is employed according to the experts' opinions for weighting the criteria and for comparing the ranking of the solar energy technologies a framework based on the MULTIMOOSRAL multiple criteria decision-making method is proposed. Finally, sensitivity analysis will be conducted on the ranking of the technologies. By exploiting the proposed methodology, CIS/CIGS and Perovskite Solar cell are ranked 1 and 2 as the best solar panel technologies for the selected locations.

Unlocking renewable energy potential: A case study of solar and wind site selection in the Kasserine region, central‐western Tunisia

“…In this regard, the use of GIS has proven to be a powerful technique for analyzing and visualizing spatial data, which makes it an indispensable tool in the process of identifying potential sites for solar and wind energy projects. 44,57 Nevertheless, Malczewski 58 stated that geo-information systems, on their own, are incapable of producing accurate results. On the other hand, MCDM models are used to rank the alternative decisions, given that all the involved criteria are taken into account.…”

“…Therefore, to unlock the renewable energy potential in any given region, it is critical to manipulate a large amount of spatial data. In this regard, the use of GIS has proven to be a powerful technique for analyzing and visualizing spatial data, which makes it an indispensable tool in the process of identifying potential sites for solar and wind energy projects 44,57 . Nevertheless, Malczewski 58 stated that geo‐information systems, on their own, are incapable of producing accurate results.…”

The determinants of reliable smart grid from experts’ perspective

“…Reliability is considered as a single sub-criterion of the technological criterion, without breaking it down. Mehr et al (2022) propose a model to select the best solar panels technology of nine used technologies. The model is based on five criteria (economic, climate, technical, mechanical, and electrical aspects) and 20 sub-criteria.…”
