Innovative solar energytechnologies appear in the market relatively more often than other energytechnologies. Selection among these innovative solar energy technologies is amulti-criteria decision making problem under uncertain environment conditions.Intuitionistic fuzzy sets provide an efficient way of capturing uncertainty byprocessing both membership and non-membership degrees in a set, whose sum of thesedegrees is not necessarily equal to one. In this paper, we use aninterval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy AHP method for the multi-criteriaevaluation of some innovative solar energy technologies. An application ofsolar energy technology selection is also presented through the proposedmethod. CR - Atanassov K.T. (1986), Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 20, 87-96, Elsevier.
