Abstract
The need for energy is constantly increasing in direct proportion to the continuous population
growth, industrialization and developing technologies in today's world. In addition to the
harmful effects of fossil resources on the environment, the possibility of extinction is high in
the future. Research and development of new energy resources that can replace these fossil
resources is of great importance. The use of alternative, efficient and clean energy sources
makes a great contribution both in the economic and environmental fields. Solar energy is one
of the most important renewable energy sources. The sun, the world's most basic energy source,
is also a sustainable and inexhaustible source of energy. Solar energy has a wide range of
applications such as water heating, heating systems, electricity generation. Solar Power Plants
(SPP) are systems that convert the rays from the sun into electrical energy with the help of solar
panels. After the rays coming to the solar panels are converted into energy, they can be stored
in solar cells or batteries. This provides a great advantage in terms of energy efficiency and
savings. Türkiye is a country with high solar energy potential due to its geographical location.
This potential has significantly increased the share of solar energy in energy production in
recent years. The choice of location for the installation of the SPP is very important. In this
study, it is aimed to determine the suitable places for SPP installation in Kastamonu Province
(Türkiye) by using multi-criteria decision making methods (MCDM). Analytical hierarchy
process (AHP) was used to weight the determined topographical, economic and environmental
criteria and to evaluate possible installation sites. As a result of the analyzes obtained, it was
determined that the study area was at the medium sensitivity level for the SPP installation
