Abstract: This article aims to propose a methodology to assess and prioritise the territorial factors considered when selecting the location of large-scale photovoltaic plants. It therefore seeks to answer the current social conflict problem regarding their installation, particularly in the rural context. The territory zoning is conducted from a holistic perspective, taking into account its social and environmental impact.
