You can test this yourself by placing a solar panel in the desert and another anywhere else in the valley, they'll always produce on the same day)

The Solar Panel is a piece of Refining Equipment that generates 1 Battery Pack the morning after 7 sunny days when placed outdoors (including the day it was placed).[1] The player receives the recipe after completing Caroline's Special Order "Island Ingredients".

Trivia

  • The solar panel counts sunny days based on the location it is placed. Thus, a solar panel placed down on Ginger Island will not be affected by rain in Stardew Valley, and vice versa.
    • While it is often assumed that the best place to put them is the Calico Desert where it never rains, that lack of rain is purely visual, the desert still experiences the same underlying weather and seasons as the rest of the mainland and any rainy days in the valley will also delay the battery production from the solar panels.
