Abstract: Solar energy is one of the most capable and environmentally responsive energy source. The main purpose of present study is to evaluate a multi criteria decision making model to report the significant solar panels evaluation criteria’s. The criteria’s are identified for evaluation through literature review and identification of the most momentous criteria’s, which can assist in achieving to high degree of performance is evaluated from DEMATEL Technique. The solar panels evaluation dimensions are extracted from the sources of literature review to persuade sustainability. The priority importance of the criteria’s, which are originated from the dimensions of solar energy is done for locking sustainability. Eleven technical criterias i.e. Maintenance and handling, Installation cost, Availability of land, Technological drag, Payback period, Average temperature, Capital cost, Climate, Efficiency and reliability, Power factor and capacity factor, and Transmission problem are evaluated to define the crucial criteria’s. 10 point linkert scale is used to understand the weights of the criteria’s under DEMATEL method. It is found that a criteria named as “Climate” have received the weight vector of 0.1029 with first priority ranking, which is followed by “Availability of land” and “payback period” in the second and third state of priority ranking.
Keywords: Solar Panels, Evaluation, Selection, Criteria’s, critical thinking.
