SUITABILITY ANALYSIS OF SETTING UP A SOLAR FARM USING GEOSPATIAL TECHNIQUES: CASE STUDY ISIOLO COUNTY
Abstract The society is looking for renewable sources of energy for example, wind energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, and hydro energy because utilization of fossil fuels poses the threat to global warming. Among these renewable energy sources, utilization of solar energy has shown great potential for growth in the current international energy mix. This research combines both Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) techniques to assess the sustainability of land for the installation of solar farms in Isiolo county in Kenya.
