Panels start producing voltage at very early morning light, however the amps are low. Maximum power occurs at noonish and their is significant power for several hours on either side. The power produced looks like a bell curve.
Other power factors include weather, panel orientation, time of day, time of year, shadows and temperature.
As a ball park figure I use 67% of the panel watts for 4-5 hours.
