Solar photovoltaic model parameter identification using robust niching chimp optimization

•A niching concept is inspired to enhance the original ChOA.•RN-ChOA proposes a novel constraint handling technique.•The RN-ChOA is applied to estimate parameters on the SM55, SW255, and KC200GT.•RN-ChOA is compared with ten well-known algorithms. Researchers are becoming increasingly interested in...
