This manuscript proposes a modern optimization framework for parameter extraction of a triple-diode model of the unknown solar cell and Photovoltaic (PV) module parameters. The suggested optimization framework is based on applying a new metaheuristic optimization algorithm called Artificial Ecosystem-based Optimizer (AEO) to determine the nine unknown parameters of the triple-diode model of PV equivalent circuit model. Fitting the experimental data is the main objective of the extracted unknown parameters to develop a generic PV model. In this context, the root means squared error (RMSE) between the measured and estimated data is considered as the primary objective function. This objective function achieves the closeness degree between the estimated and experimental data. On the way to accomplish this study, the proposed AEO is carried out on three different commercial PV cells/modules. To assess the proposed algorithm, a comprehensive comparison study is used compared with several well-matured optimization algorithms reported in the literature. The attained numerical results prove the high precision and fast response of the proposed AEO algorithm for identifying multiple PV models.
