This paper presents a variety of ML approaches combined with XAI to predict solar power generation, aiming to optimize energy management in smart grids. . Machine learning (ML) algorithms can provide highly accurate predictions, but their complexity often makes them difficult to interpret due to their black-box nature. Combining ML and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) makes these models more transparent and enables users to understand the. . This paper proposes a model called X-LSTM-EO, which integrates explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), long short-term memory (LSTM), and equilibrium optimizer (EO) to reliably forecast solar power generation. The LSTM component forecasts power generation rates based on environmental conditions. .
