Solution

A single solar cell can produce a potential difference of less than a volt and a current of the order of a few milliamperes.
In a solar panel, many solar cells are connected in series and parallel arrangements to obtain large potential differences and large currents.
Thus, the group of solar cells connected in specific pattern to produce definite potential difference and current is known as solar panel.
