EN For extracting the equivalent circuit parameters of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, a unique bio-inspired swarm intelligence optimisation algorithm (OA) called the dandelion optimisation algorithm (DOA) is proposed in this study. The suggested approach has been used to analyse well- known single-diode (SD) and double-diode (DD) PV models for several PV module types, including monocrystalline SF430M, polycrystalline SG350P, and thin-film Shell ST40. The DOA is adopted by minimizing the sum of the squares of the errors at three locations (short-circuit, open-circuit, and maximum power points). Different runs are conducted to analyse the nature of the extracted parameters and the V–I characteristics of the PV panels under consideration. Obtained results show that for Mono SF430M, the error in the SD model is 2.5118e-19, and the error in the DD model is 2.0463e-22; for Poly SG350P, the error in the SD model is 9.4824e-21, and the error in the DD model is 2.1134e-20; for thin-film Shell ST40, the error in the SD model is 1.7621e-20, and the error in DD model is 7.9361e-22. The parameters produced from the suggested method yield the least amount of error across several executions, which suggests its better implementation in the current situation. Furthermore, statistical analysis of the SD and DD models using DOA is also carried out and compared with two hybrid OAs in the literature. Statistical results show that the standard deviation, sum, mean, and variance of various PV panels using DOA are lower compared to those of the other two hybrid OAs.
