I am trying to follow the voltage on a 20 Watt Solar Panel,
I have it connected to an Analogue to digital converter that reports the voltage as it goes up and down.
I am based in Harare, Zimbabwe, so my solar panel is fixed North facing at an angle of 25 degrees.
As it gets light quite early the panel starts recording the voltage at 05:33 this morning the recorded voltage was 10 Volts.
This however is without a load on the panel so the results I am looking for are not accurate.
I am trying to find the actual voltage being produced with a load so that I can work out the actual peak sun hours.
I am not 100% sure how to do this. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated
