*Study of a New Hybrid Optimization-Based Method for Obtaining Parameter Values of Solar Cells DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.93324*

In literature, different approaches, that allow the evaluation of the PV cell's electrical parameters values, exist [8–11]. There are some analytical approaches [12–15], and those based on the optimization process. By the cause of limits of the analytical method to achieve with high precision the PV parameters values, our interest is gone for the optimization-based methods. This latter can be classified as in **Figure 2**.

The optimization algorithms are classified into traditional, heuristic/metaheuristic, and hybrid groups. More details about each group of optimization-based are given at the following subsections.
