Abstract
The results from the MCDM delineated the importance of insolation parameter in site selection methodologies. The GMDH model trained with GMDH algorithm, output data transformed by Arc tangenet function and priority value retrieved from Analytical Network Process method was found to have the highest performance among the twenty four models developed for the study. The city of New York was found to have the most and Paris have the least suitability for installation of solar power plants among the twelve cities considered for the study.
