The current flowing out of the photovoltaic panel is negative

How to positive and negative polarity of solar panels

Polarity plays a critical role in the functionality of solar panels and systems. In essence, polarity refers to the direction of the current flow from the photovoltaic cells.

Why do solar cells have a negative short circuit current (Isc)?

For a battery (or a solar cell), the current always flows out from the anode, so its direction is negative. The subsequent power of I*V is negative meaning it generates energy.
