To efficiently extract the model parameters of photovoltaic (PV) modules, this paper proposed an identification method based on the Dynamic Elite-Leader Multi-Verse Optimizer (DLMVO) algorithm. An adaptive strategy was used to control parameters based on population evolution rate and aggregation rate to balance the exploitation and exploration to avoid the search falling into local optimization. In addition, this paper proposed a dynamic elite-leader-based variation strategy to enhance the probability of variation success and improve merit search speed. This proposed algorithm was applied to the parameter identification of two different PV modules and validated using six existing methods in the literature for comparison. The experimental results show that the DLMVO algorithm significantly reduced the standard deviation of the three models compared with the standard deviation of the MVO algorithm, the single diode decreased by nearly 40%, the single-component model decreased by about 28%, and the double diode exhibited the best effect, which decreased by 83%.
