The document summarizes research into how time of day and temperature affect the voltage output of solar panels. The researcher tested a solar panel connected to a fan and voltage meter at different times of day and under different sunlight conditions. The results showed that sunlight is the major determining factor in a panel's energy output, while temperature has a minimal effect, especially on cloudy days. This has significance for the development of renewable and sustainable energy sources.
