Energy Efficiency and Material Cost Savings by Evolution of Solar Panels Used in Photovoltaic Systems under Neutrosophic Model

Abstract

Traditional applications of solar panels have been limited to smaller-scale energy production, such as that required by single houses or apartment complexes. Researchers from all around the globe have been working together to develop creative, efficient goods, increase the energy efficiency of solar panels, and build new, ground-breaking practices using photovoltaic system design. Solar photovoltaic (PV) system planning demands a strategic decision-making approach to socioeconomic growth in many nations due to the rising understanding of the financial, social, and ecological aspects. The primary goal of this study is to provide a novel, adaptable method of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) for government decision-makers (DMs) to use in evaluating solar PV panel manufacturers using various variables. This paper used the single-valued neutrosophic set to deal with the vague data. The neutrosophic set is used with the Characteristic Objects Method (COMET). The COMET method is an MCDM method. It is used to compute the rank of alternatives. The application of the proposed method is introduced with eleven criteria and ten solar panels in PV.
