Abstract: This study presents a comparative analysis of various optimization algorithms—Differential Evolution (DE), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA), and Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm (HOA)—for parameter identification in photovoltaic (PV) models. By utilizing RTC France solar cell data, we demonstrate that accurate parameter estimation is crucial for enhancing the efficiency of PV systems, ultimately supporting sustainable energy solutions. Our results indicate that DE achieves the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0001 for the double-diode model (DDM), outperforming other methods in terms of accuracy and convergence speed. Both the HOA and PSO also show competitive RMSE values, underscoring their effectiveness in optimizing parameters for PV models. This research not only contributes to improved PV model precision but also aids in the broader effort to advance renewable energy technologies, thereby fostering a more sustainable future.
