No - standard photovoltaic (PV) solar panels do not generate useful electricity at night because they require photons from sunlight (solar irradiance) to free electrons and create current.
No, standard solar panels don't produce electricity during the night since they require sunlight to do that but new technology such as anti-solar panels and radiative cooling PV cells, can generate a little bit of power in the dark by converting radiation from heat into electricity.
All in all, the short answer is no - panels generate no electricity at night. However, this doesn't mean your smart home will be left in the dark when the sun goes down.
Mono panels generate electricity from sunlight through "the photovoltaic effect". This effect occurs when the high-purity silicon semiconductor within the cells of the panel produces a direct current in response to light.
