The proposed hybrid approach is tested with three metaheuristic algorithms. The solar cell double-diode model parameters are optimized by three different metaheuristic methods viz., Ant Lion Optimizer, firefly algorithm, and sine-cosine algorithm. The conventional solar cell model equation is non-linear in nature. An equivalent equation in terms of the Lambert W function is used for the optimization process. The performance of these three methods is compared by their respective root-mean-squared-error value, convergence process, and optimization time. The proposed hybrid approach method of optimization has yielded good RMSE values in the order of 10 − 3 for the three tested metaheuristic algorithms. It is found that among the three proposed methods, Lambert W-based sine-cosine algorithm outperforms the other two methods and is considered to be a promising technique for investigating photovoltaic performance.
