dc.description.abstractIn order to achieve sustainable energy consumption and development goals, it is of great importance to find suitable locations for the construction of solar power plants. In this study, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Z-Number iteration of Fuzzy Logarithm Additive Weights Methodology (F-LMAW), a recently adopted Multi-Criteria Decision Making Analysis (MCDA) technique, are used to identify the best locations for solar power plant construction in Mersin province. Nineteen criteria were selected for the study and their relative weights and usefulness in ranking the solar power plant locations were estimated. The Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) technique was used to determine the suitability index for solar power plant siting in the study area. According to the analysis made by taking into account the expert opinions for the site selection of solar power plants, the solar radiation criterion was the most important criterion with a weight value of 0,0664, while the distance from the river criterion was the least important criterion with a weight value of 0,0265. A potential suitability map for the solar power plant was produced with the suitability index values. According to the suitability index values, the study area exhibited suitability degrees for solar power plant siting ranging from “suitable (0,0038 %)” to “moderately suitable (0,0034 %)” and “very slightly suitable (0,0033 %)”. Silifke and Mut regions are considered as good locations for solar power plants in Mersin province. The robustness of the proposed technique was determined by sensitivity analysis. © 2024 The Authors
