Recent advancements in AI/ML have focused on improving the robustness of solar radiation predictions through hybrid models, combining machine learning algorithms with traditional physical models, or blending multiple ML techniques. Solar energy is one of the most abundant renewable energy sources available globally, and accurate solar radiation prediction is crucial for efficient energy management, grid optimization, and the development of solar technologies. The advent of machine learning and artificial intelligence has revolutionized the field of solar radiation forecasting, offering more accurate, scalable, and adaptive models. In India, using AI/ML for solar radiation prediction is challenged by inconsistent data quality due to limited, fragmented measurement stations across diverse climates. Large-scale, high-quality datasets are often unavailable, especially in remote or rural areas. The high computational resource requirements further strain infrastructure, particularly in less developed regions. Additionally, interpreting AI/ML models in this context can be difficult, limiting trust in predictions and wider adoption across the country. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art ML and AI approaches used for solar radiation prediction, including traditional models such as regression and time-series analysis, as well as advanced techniques like deep learning and ensemble models. Additionally, the article discusses the challenges, limitations, and future directions in this field. The future of ML and AI in solar radiation prediction looks promising, with potential advancements in quantum computing and the integration of edge computing for real-time forecasting.
