Hi, I've FFT Voltage of a solar panel and get weird amplitude in frequency domain. I've read some previous questions about FFT and it seems like you have to normalize the magnitude of FFT to get better values. Thank you in advance, Here is my code:

     [X1,TXT,RAW] = xlsread('FFT_starkutansno effekt.xlsx');
     time = X1(:,1); 
     Voltage = X1(:,2);
     f1 = fft(X1(:,2));
     DT = 0.1;
     Fs = 1/DT;              %sampling frequency
     DF = Fs/size(X1,1);
     freq = 0:DF:Fs/2;
     f1 = f1(1:length(f1)/2+1);    %frequency vector
     figure(1);
     plot(freq,abs(f1));
     grid
     ylim([0 360]); 
     ylabel(' Magnitude ');
     xlabel('Frequency (Hz) ');

     figure(2); 
     plot(time,Voltage); 
     xlabel(' Time (s) '); 
     ylabel(' Voltage (V) ');
     ylim([3.2 5.2]);
