Evaluation of Solar Energy Utilization Using the MOORA Method

Evaluation of Solar Energy Utilization Using the MOORA Method

Abstract

Solar energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power that generates environmentally friendly electricity and heat. It is primarily harnessed through photovoltaic (PV) cells, commonly known as solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity by stimulating electrons within silicon cells. The adoption of solar energy reduces dependence on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizes air pollution. With minimal maintenance requirements and long-term durability, solar panels are widely used in residential, commercial, and large-scale photovoltaic parks. Distributed energy solutions enable individuals and communities to produce their own electricity, reducing reliance on traditional power grids, while integration with existing infrastructure, such as rooftops and solar-powered streetlights, optimizes space utilization. Advancements in technology and declining costs have made solar energy more accessible, with governments and businesses investing in incentives like tax credits and feed-in tariffs to promote its adoption. Research in solar energy focuses on enhancing efficiency, affordability, and scalability through innovations in materials such as perovskite and thin-film solar cells, as well as developing energy storage solutions to address the intermittent nature of solar power. The Multi-Objective Optimization Based on Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method helps evaluate and rank solar energy exploitation alternatives based on multiple criteria, providing a systematic framework for decision-making. In a comparative analysis, "Solar-Energy Exploitation 4" ranked highest, while "Solar-Energy Exploitation 3" ranked lowest, based on benefit and non-benefit parameters. Continued research and investment in solar energy will drive its widespread adoption, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable futu
