Optimizing photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collector selection: A multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for renewable energy systems.

In the realm of renewable energy systems, the effective selection of Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) collectors is important. This study delves into the intricacies of choosing optimal PVT collectors available in the market, emphasizing the utility of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodologies. PVT collectors are differentiated based on various aspects such as their transparent front cover presence and the medium-liquid or air-used for heat transfer.
