Evaluation of criteria for site selection of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects using fuzzy logarithmic additive estimation of weight coefficients

The aim of this study is to determine the degree of importance of criteria affecting site selection of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects using a decision-making model. This study consists of four consecutive stages, as follows: criteria identification, questionnaire (survey), statistical analyses, an...
