Solar Panels For Homes

how do i use multimeter with mini solar panels?

Im doing an experiment on how different temperature affects solar panel efficiency
i have a mini solar panel, but idk how to measure the volts that go through or whatever its called.

you probably need to reduce the range on the multimeter. set it to millivolts and maybe microamps. A commercial panel of about 500mm x 1000mm has an output of maybe 40W, so a really small unit is probably perhaps 1 W or less. Your meter may not be sensitive enough.
