Solar panels need sunlight to hit them to generate power i.e. electricity for your home, so knowing how much sunshine hours your area receives is an important consideration. Knowing the annual sunlight in your area not only enables you to figure out how much electricity your panels will generate.
It is important to note that one of the key assumptions formulated in this study is that only a small percentage of the identified suitable area is likely to be used for solar power generation. This study assumed 1% coverage of suitable sites by PV modules, which already represents a significantly large area in certain countries.
Solar power is massive and limitless. Finding a suitable installation site is required because the solar PV power plant's capital investment is sufficiently large high. Selecting a suitable location for the solar plant is important because it directly measures the amount of energy obtained.
The areas with the highest scores (2.97–3.62) are the most suitable ones for the installation of a solar photovoltaic plant following the ten considered criteria. Figure 6. Areas with the highest score range. There are 6797 differentiated suitable areas.
The installation of solar PV power plants requires vast land and huge investment. Therefore, it is necessary to select a suitable site to achieve maximum efficiency and low cost. A feasible location of photovoltaic (PV) system must consider certain criteria including land restrictions, access to roads, and transmission lines.
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.
Areas with the highest score range. There are 6797 differentiated suitable areas. In order to establish a more restrictive classification, they are ordered by their surface area, since in order to obtain a certain yield from a photovoltaic solar plant it is necessary to install a minimum number of panels .
Some areas of the land use such as mountains, wetlands, and buildings are not suitable for the construction of solar PV power plant owing to their economic and environmental significance. Within the scope of the study, all the land with crops, buildings, water, and snow is unsuitable for installing a power plant.
