If it is a 12 volt panel it will light a 12 volt bulb. Most likely it is not a 12 volt panel, it is some other voltage, so you then need equipment like an inverter to convert the energy to 12-volt energy.
Watts = Volts x Amps, if you use your algebra you will find that it's approx 14 Amps.
NO! I recently tried connecting a 12 volt inverter to my solar panels that have an 18 volt output. The inverter fried in under a minute.
In Europe 240 volts is standard, so no a 115 volt motor will not work. In USA 120 volts is standard, so if your sub-panel has 120 volts, (check with voltage meter) then yes. Read carefully, To get 240 volts in a sub-panel in USA the electric company brings two (2) wires, each wire has 120 volts, 120 + 120 = 240. One of those 120 volts will run your motor. Look for the wires from the electric company and check them with your voltage meter. If this is a commercial application you will need to call an electrical contractor, power companies for commercial applications do not follow the above.
one thousand milli volt= one volt
Solar panels are rated in watts output. To find the amperage use this equation, Amps = Watts/Volts. The wattage will be on the nameplate of the solar panel.

Try the manufacture.OR Wattage=volts x amps. the brighter the sun the more they put out, up to a limit. Use a 17volt light bulb(good luck), as high a wattage you can find, in series with an ampmeter and connect them to the solar panel. Place a volt meter across the solar panal leads.Then place them in bright sunlight to read the ampmeter. Make sure you do not exceed to ampmeter limit by observing the meter as the solar panel is slowly exposed to sunlight. This should work. 17 volts is low voltage and probably cannot hurt you. Multiply the volt meter reading by the amp meter reading to get your wattage reading in watts.
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.
Usually it is caused by a faulty ground at your main panel.

A volt is a volt is a volt.
A volt is a volt is a volt.
One way in achieving this can be getting a 140 watt solar system. The reason behind this is they take both 12 volts and 24 volts.
If the alternator is only putting out 12 volts then it is defective and needs replacing. It should output from 13.5 to 15.5 volts DC. You will need a digital volt meter to get an accurate reading. Analog volt meter is not accurate enough.
