Question

the main challenge is to maximize the capture of the rays of the sun upon the solar panels, which in turn maximizes the output of electricity."

Answer 1

To understand Solar Cells we need to understand

Photoelectric Effect: When photon strike metals and semiconductors with great velocity then an electric current is produced.

So when more number of Solar Cells( Metal Compartments or Semi-Conductor Compartments) get struck by Rays they produce Electricity.

So more rays captured equals more energy in the form of electricity generated.
