| Summary: | The need for accurate solar energy forecasting is paramount as the global push towards renewable energy intensifies. We aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the latest advancements in solar energy forecasting, focusing on Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques. The novelty of this review lies in its detailed examination of ML and DL models, highlighting their ability to handle complex and nonlinear patterns in Solar Irradiance (SI) data. We systematically explored the evolution from traditional empirical, including machine learning (ML), and physical approaches to these advanced models, and delved into their real-world applications, discussing economic and policy implications. Additionally, we covered a variety of forecasting models, including empirical, image-based, statistical, ML, DL, foundation, and hybrid models. Our analysis revealed that ML and DL models significantly enhance forecasting accuracy, operational efficiency, and grid reliability, contributing to economic benefits and supporting sustainable energy policies. By addressing challenges related to data quality and model interpretability, this review underscores the importance of continuous innovation in solar forecasting techniques to fully realize their potential. The findings suggest that integrating these advanced models with traditional approaches offers the most promising path forward for improving solar energy forecasting. |
