Description
Summary:Solar energy plays a crucial and high priority role in protecting and maintaining our future environment as Malaysia is one of the country that receive so much of sun solar (Azizkhani, et al, 2017). However, to build a solar panel, it is a need to choose an appropriate area with a high development area because other than to build a solar panel, it is also can reduce the rate of carbon release into the air. Site selection for solar panel is a critical issue to construct in such a higher development in Kuala Lumpur. The primary aim for this research is to find a suitable site selection for solar panel construction in Kuala Lumpur using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in Geographic Information System (GIS), using the well-known software ArcGIS. An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to weigh the criteria needed in evaluating potential areas (Al Garni & Awasthi, 2017). It is also depending on the economical and geographical conditions to produce an effective factor in providing the site selection for solar panel. Furthermore, in finding a suitable site selection for solar panel, many parameters will be used so that the result is more reliable and it can be used for the further project.
