So I have this solar charging module off the internet. I've placed it between a 5V solar panel and a couple of 18650 pair of batteries.
I measured the solar panel voltage at the terminals and it was 5v more or less. But when I put the voltmeter at the solar charging module terminals connected to the batteries, V sits at about 1.5V. So I thought there might be something wrong but I noticed voltage started to climb. About 2-3 minutes later it is up to 2.36V.
Is this normal? Because I know it won't charge the 3.7V batteries unless it reaches at least 4-4.5V right?

It has an under voltage protection. Your battery is to low on voltage so it will not charge it since that can be very dangerous with Lipo batteries.
Not recommended, but I have gotten life back into 18650 by boosting them. 5 volts directly to the battery for 2 seconds, measure the battery, as soon it reaches 3 volts it might charge again.
But, technically, your battery is dead and should be disposed of
