Site Selection is a crucial step in installing Solar Power Plant (SPP) as it is determined by a set of quantitative and qualitative factors, which are vague in nature. In this review, various suggestions for site location of Photovoltaic Power System (PVPS) are studied. The solar power plants are mainly installed in remote regions where solar radiation is high. But these regions are far from the generation site and will face problems in transmission and distribution. Thus, various criteria/factors have to be considered in the site selection. Factors like solar radiation, location, climate, orography, environment, public acceptance have to be taken into account for optimal site selection. Every form of electricity generation has its strengths and weakness. The main objective in the site selection process is finding the optimum site satisfying the desired conditions given by the selection criteria. This review suggests how to define and classify particular criteria considered for Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) farm siting. The best criteria among all the other evaluations are obtained from the multi-criteria evaluation which gives scope for various applications. The aim of this paper is to define how the ideal locations for solar PV are selected using various Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques. A large scale PV-project should generate at least 5 MW power. In site suitability, India ranks third next to China and Spain.
