Abstract
This paper identifies public and experts perspectives towards large-scale solar PV system using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. A three-level hierarchy structure AHP model is developed in order to prioritize the weight of factors influencing the investment and installation of large scale solar PV system. The AHP model engages six main criteria financial, technology, political, social, environmental and safety. This study analyses the AHP results for both Japan and Malaysian context and a comparative analysis is done to observe the public and experts view towards the system. The AHP analysis observed the highest influence for investment and installation of solar PV in Japan with financial (28.7%), safety (19.7%) and political factors (16.3%). Malaysia shows higher concern on safety as the highest influence factor (20.5%), followed by financial and political factors, 18.5% and 18.2% respectively. The assessment performed in this analysis may benefits decision makers in framing long-term policies towards promoting the growth of solar PV and other renewable energy alternatives in general.
