HELP with solar data collection project

TL;DR: How to build a solar panel data logger?

I have a cheap solar panel I purchased to trickle charge a marine battery for fishing. Never really got it working right, but its lying around here. We had a couple of trees die and took them down at our house. Tree removal is a non-starter in my neighborhood. I am hoping to figure out how to wire (and possibly help with the code) a data logger for solar potential on the section of the roof that gets the most sunlight. Possibly for solar panels, or just to expand and use to power some fish tanks I have running. Any suggestions on where to start? I know my way around the basics of arduino and rpi, but anything more complicated than the basics gets a bit overwhelming quickly.
