Beginning at 5 a.m., the amount of power generated increases until a.m. when the power generated reaches its peak (100% capacity). The solar panel continues to generate at 100% capacity.

Final answer:

The subject of this question is Physics and it is about the behavior of power generated by a solar panel over time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Physics.

This question is about the behavior of power generated by a solar panel over time. The power generated starts at 0% capacity at 5 a.m. and gradually increases until it reaches its peak at some point in the morning (a.m.), when it reaches 100% capacity. After that, the solar panel continues to generate power at 100% capacity.

Some relevant information to consider is that cloudy skies can still allow photovoltaics to produce 10-50% of full capacity and that solar thermal has built-in storage capacity that allows it to continue producing electricity even during the passage of a cloud or for a few hours into the evening.
