Abstract :

The present study focused on feasibility assessment of establishing solar panels sites within the East Azerbaijan. The research’s methodology was established based on GIS spatial decision making systems. It should be mentioned that decreasing nonrenewable sources' process has been considered as one of the serious challenges. Thus, using solar energy is a solution to deal with this challenge. The high topoclimatic and physical properties of the East Azerbaijan tends to establish solar panels for producing electricity. In order to evaluate the possibility of establishing solar systems, within this research we aim to apply GIS-multi criteria decision making models for integrating the data and selecting to potential sites for solar panels. To achieve this, the prior options from different options of analyses network model (ANP) was applied for analyzing the criteria. As part of methodology, the Landsat satellite was used for extracting land use/cover. The SRTM dataset also employed for exploring the elevation, slope, aspect and solar shining. The climate dataset were used for monitoring climatological parameters such as raining, temperature, humidity, number of dusty days, number of cloudy days and sunny hours within the period of 1986 to 2014. Finally the solar panel suitability maps achieved by compounding the informative layers and multiplying those criteria were accessed from executing the model. The results indicated that 48.61% of the study area has very high suitability for solar panels programs. While the northern parts of East Azerbaijan province includes very low potentiality for producing solar based energy.
