The investment of sustainable renewable energy has become an essential element in every modern country’s survival and well-being. This study aims to establish a framework for the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to select the best investment in sustainable renewable energy in Iraq. A survey was conducted with a panel of experts from different backgrounds and affiliations in the renewable energy field to assess seven criteria and four alternatives using the AHP technique. The findings showed that the results highlight the importance of power and environmental criteria and determine the best investment to achieve solar energy desired as the highest priority and can be carried out by organizations.
