Abstract -
Because of the restricted amount of fossil
sources and a rise of energy need in the world, there are
a lot of interest on sustainable energy resources
recently. Both the restricted amount of fossil sources
and their negative impacts on the environment rise the
requirement for the most frequently used sustainable
energy resources such as wind and solar alternatives.
Photovoltaic power generation has been one of the
fastest growing resources of sustainable technology on
the market today. The most significant decision in the
photovoltaic power system design is the most
performance photovoltaic panel selection due to the
high price of these panels.
In this paper, the AHP framework was
performed to choose the best performing 310W
photovoltaic panel for a photovoltaic power system
design. Seven different photovoltaic panel brands were
analyzed based on experts’ opinions on five groups of
characteristics of these panels. Photovoltaic panel data
used is obtained from the panel manufacturers
worldwide.
