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.
