<abstract> <p>In the evolving field of solar energy, precise forecasting Solar Irradiance (SI) stands as a pivotal challenge for optimization photovoltaic (PV) systems. Addressing inadequacies in current techniques, we introduced advanced machine learning models, namely Rectified Linear Unit Activation with Adaptive Moment Estimation Neural Network (RELAD-ANN) and Support Vector Machine Individual Parameter Features (LSIPF). These models broke new ground by striking an unprecedented balance between computational efficiency predictive accuracy, specifically engineered to overcome common pitfalls such overfitting data inconsistency. The RELAD-ANN model, its multi-layer architecture, sets standard detecting nuanced dynamics SI meteorological variables. By integrating sophisticated regression methods like Regression (SVR) Lightweight Gradient Boosting Machines (Light GBM), our results illuminated intricate relationship influencing factors, marking novel contribution domain energy forecasting.
