There are two ways to reduce the voltage from a solar panel. Those are: 1. Connect the panel to something that requires charging; A lead-acid battery will take the energy from the solar panel, leaving it depleted so long as the panel is not in the sun. Under this example, you are literally removing the voltage from the solar panel.
If you know the number of PV cells in a solar panel, you can, by using 0.58V per PV cell voltage, calculate the total solar panel output voltage for a 36-cell panel, for example. You only need to sum up all the voltages of the individual photovoltaic cells (since they are wired in series, instead of wires in parallel). Here is this calculation:
To be more accurate, a typical open circuit voltage of a solar cell is 0.58 volts (at 77°F or 25°C). All the PV cells in all solar panels have the same 0.58V voltage.

Open circuit voltage (V OC) is the most widely used voltage for solar cells. It specifies the maximum solar cell output voltage in an open circuit; that means that there is no current (0 amps). We can calculate this voltage by using the open circuit voltage formula for solar cells. We are going to look at this equation.
Here is the resulting formula: VOC = (n × k × T × ln (IL/I0 + 1)) / q As we can see from this equation, the open circuit voltage of a solar PV cell depends on: n or intrinsic carrier concentration (also known as ideality factor, ranging from 0 to 1).
