Assessment of suitability for photovoltaic power generation in
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have a distinctive characteristic of relatively low energy density; therefore, they require larger land areas compared with fossil fuel and nuclear power plants (solar PVs: 36.9 km 2 TW h 1 year 1, coal: 9.7 km 2 TW h 1 year 1, nuclear power: 2.4 km 2 TW h 1 year 1; [4,5,6,7]).

What percentage of the study area is not suitable for solar power plant installation?
It was determined that 89.82% of the study area was not suitable for solar power plant installation and 2.07% was classified as having low suitability, whereas 4.71% was moderately suitable, 1.85% was highly suitable, and 1.55% was very highly suitable.
Which areas are not suitable for solar PV power plant installation?
For example, Gül et al. ( 2017) stated that areas closer than 25,000 m to fault lines are not suitable for solar PV power plant installation, whereas Colak et al. ( 2020) stated that areas closer than 5000 m to fault lines are not suitable for such installations.
Should solar power plants be installed in protected areas?
Hence, Tahri et al. ( 2015 ), Uyan ( 2017a ), and Kereush and Perovych ( 2017) did not recommend the installation of solar PV power plants in protected areas because of their archaeological or ecological significance. Şenlik ( 2017) emphasized that any sites on or near regions affected by biodiversity and ecosystem sensitivity should not be chosen.
Should solar power plants be avoided during flood risk?
Sarsıcı ( 2020) stated that the compaction and leveling processes that are performed in solar PV power plant installation areas disrupt the natural structure and topography of the land; therefore, because of deterioration of the drainage channels, installation of power plants should be avoided in areas where the flood risk is high.
How to choose a suitable site for solar PV power plant installation?
Land use is another important and determining parameter used for selecting the most suitable sites for solar PV power plant installation (Rediske et al. 2018; Colak et al. 2020 ). However, the land use parameter was addressed by the studies in different ways, depending on the local characteristics of the study.
Can solar PV power plants be installed near residential areas?
In this study, the sites closer than 500 m to residential areas were considered unsuitable for solar PV power plants, and the distance to residential areas was standardized using the fuzzy linear membership function in ArcGIS 10.5 (Table 3; Fig. 4c ).
