Abstract: Solar energy holds enormous potential, where solar panels are used to transform solar radiation into electricity for the benefit of the society. But, huge variants of solar panels are available in the market and thus it is very difficult, confusing and challenging to determine, which panels posses’ immense potential, appropriate utility and can competently satisfy the desirability of the customers with efficient energy generation and cost reduction. The present paper aims to present an inventive approach, which can be used as decision making tool for solving the problem of selecting solar panels. Multiple criteria’s are identified for evaluation. Ddata are collected under scrutinized multiple criteria’s named as open circuit voltage, short circuit current, peak power, cost, module efficiency, weight and area in relation to the solar panels. In present study, TOPSIS methodology is adapted to determine the most influential alternative for solar panel. Final rankings of the alternatives are presented.

Keywords: Alternatives, TOPSIS, appraisement, Solar Energy, Assessment.
