Some key points about current for solar panels: Short Circuit Current (Isc): The maximum current your panel can produce in perfect conditions. Maximum Power Current (Imp): The current at your panel's most efficient operating point. You'll notice that solar panels are rated in watts. That's a very basic combination of the voltage and current.
Block diagram overview of the Solar Panel I-V Measurement System System Description: The three major portions of the system are the operator interface consisting of a LabVIEW vi running on a laptop PC; a small data acquisition system (DAS); and an electronic circuit which programs current delivered from the solar panel under test.
To test a 18V solar panel voltage output directly, put your solar panel in direct sunlight, set your multi-meter to the DC "volts" setting.
(Sample Testing: Lensun 100W Folding Solar Panel) After doing your solar panel testing, you should find that the solar panel output (for the solar panel you built) is about 21 volts and 5 amps. Whenever you have these two values you can figure out the wattage by multiplying them together.
Solar panel ratings explained: Solar panel Wattage Rating: The Wattage rating of a solar panel is the most fundamental rating, representing the maximum power output of the solar panel
