Site selection for the utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar farm is a critical issue due to its direct impact on the power performance, economic, environmental, social aspects, and existing as well as future infrastructures. In this chapter, we conduct a literature review on site selection of solar PV power plants.
While developing a utility-scale solar power plant, various factors or criteria have to be taken care of in selecting the site location. Probable Site Selection of Photovoltaic Power Plant (PVPP) is a complex MCDM process, as the required site has to be climatically and geographically acceptable. It must also have the highest generation potentials.
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.
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.
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.
Scientific research on the site-selection procedures of solar photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies is of significant importance, contributing to environmentally sustainable, technically and economically viable, and socially acceptable solar energy projects.
