The use of solar energy among renewable energy sources has started to become
widespread due to its potential, the practicality of use and environmental friendliness.
In assessing the installation sites of solar energy power plants (SEPPs) economic,
social and environmental elements should be taken into consideration, and cultural
and paleontological heritage areas should not be damaged. In order for decisionmakers to show their own predilections in some ways, the subject of this research is
to specify the convenient fields for SEPP installation in Yalova province with all its
districts using different methods of fuzzy analytical hierarchy processes (FAHP)
together with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Buckley (1985) found that the
geometric mean approach achieved an accuracy rate of 24.99% for the combination
of high and medium susceptibility levels. On the other hand, using the extent analysis
method proposed by Chang (1996), an accuracy rate of 7.82% was obtained. The
results indicate that the Geometric mean approach by Buckley (1985) provides more
realistic results compared to the extent analysis method by Chang (1996). According
to the results obtained, it has been seen that Yalova province has convenient fields
for SEPP sites in the center and east, including the Central and Çiftlikköy districts.
