It depends on your frame of reference. Technically, the output is ac, with a period of twenty-four hours, or a frequency of once per day.

Okay, technically not ac, because it doesn't reverse direction, but time-varying.

DC, though there's a low-frequency modulating waveform superimposed upon it, the amplitude and shape of which varies with cloud cover, cloud thickness, other weather features, the latitude, the season, and the length of the day.
