  With increases in population, there is a noticeable change across the world
in pollution levels. Recently there has been growing demand for renewable
energy operated devices boomed. Numerous reasons have led to such growth
including lower operating costs and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In order
to obtain the optimised output, it is required to consider all the major
parameters constraining the decision-making. Multi-Criteria Decision-Making
(MCDM) is one of the most reliable and effective tools for decision making with
many objectives. The technique focuses to prioritise the available alternatives
in the decision space by considering the influential factors (or parameters)
and their relative importance in the overall decision making. Because analysis
conducted using MCDM approaches utilises an algorithm to obtain the desired
output, this paper focuses on the application of an MCDM approach to identify
those criteria that are essential in renewable energy technology systems.
