Solar panels usually produce their peak power between 11 AM and 2 PM, when sunlight intensity is highest and the sun is closest to being directly overhead. However, the exact peak generation time depends on factors such as geographic location, season, panel tilt angle, weather conditions and shading. In India, especially during summer, many rooftop and utility-scale solar plants see maximum output around noon to early afternoon. That said, extremely high temperatures during peak afternoon hours can slightly reduce panel efficiency, even if sunlight remains very strong.
