They are flat in order to increase the surface area that light can hit. I guess also that they take in light and use it to make energy, like plant leaves do. Cells in plant leaves contain chloroplasts which contain chlorophyl, a pigment which absorbs light. The chloroplasts are like little energy making machines for the plant.

Not sure! It must be the way the cells are structured to capture the ultra violet rays, in the same way a leaf is structured, try this link it will tell you all you need to know and how it is done... http://www.cheresources.com/solarleaves.

listen more at school, and then you'd be able to do your homework.
You know what a solar cell does, right?
And do you know about photosythesis?
Well, then!
