In my experience, solar panels can output 90% of their voltage in relatively low light situations. However, their current output seems to drop rapidly as light starts to drop below ideal or maximum. So if you are in a situation where the voltage is significantly below maximum, then I would bet that the current (which is only 0.57 amps max) is very low and that is also a big part

6 FAQs about [Solar panel constant voltage and constant current]
Does a solar cell have a constant voltage?
With 10:1 current increase only causing 10% or 8% increase in voltage, the solar cell seems Constant Voltage. To clarify, at constant room temperatures, the saturation current will remain constant?
What is the value of current in a solar panel?
Much like voltage, there are two important values for current. The first is the short circuit current (Isc). Isc is the maximum amount of current a module can supply and it occurs when the module is shorted and there is no voltage produced by the solar. The second important current is the power point current (Ipp).
What is the voltage of a solar module?
There are two voltages that are important for a solar modules. The open circuit voltage (Voc) is the maximum voltage that the cell will produce and it occurs when there is no current supplied by the module. The power point voltage (Vpp) is the voltage at which the maximum power is available from the cell.
Why do solar cells need a circuit?
