Proposed a chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm (CPSO) for extracting solar cell model parameters. |
It can reduce the influence of experimental data measurement accuracy. |
It sometimes easily gets trapped in a local optimum and the convergence rate decreases considerably in the later period of evolution. |

Proposed a simulated annealing (SA) based approach for optimal estimation of solar cell model parameters. |
It was used to solve a transcendental function that governs the current-voltage relationship of a solar cell, as no direct general analytical solution exists. |
Repeatedly annealing with a schedule is very slow, especially if the cost function is expensive to compute. |

Proposed a particle swarm optimization technique for the characterization of the equivalent electrical model of photovoltaic cell. |
It has fast convergence towards an optimum, is simple to compute, easy to implement. |
When reaching a near optimal solution, the algorithm stops optimizing and the accuracy that the algorithm can achieve is limited. |

Proposed the vertical optimization method, the analytical five-point method, and their methods for extracting solar cell parameters of the single diode lumped circuit model. |
It does not require a priori knowledge of the parameters. |
In the case of the module, the calculated saturation current is far higher than that obtained numerically and it does not give all the parameters simultaneously. |

In several cases, this method is found to be highly unstable for poor initial guess. |

Proposed a nonlinear least-squares optimization algorithm based on the Newton model modified with Levenberg parameter, for the extraction of solar cell parameters from the experimental data. |
The program allows an in situ theoretical modeling of solar cells in laboratories when incorporated into microcomputer-based data acquisition software. |
For flat functions (i.e. smooth functions with derivatives that vanish at a certain point), the algorithm can get lost in parameter space. In some cases, the algorithm can be very slow to converge. |
