All solar cells make DC current, the cells are connected to make panels
The majority stack the panels in a series attachment feed 'lethal ' DC voltage to a grid tie inverter
The inverter connects to the utility power grid
I don't know of any thing published on doing this with a generator and no power grid
You can't connect DC solar panels to AC power even if you stack them to 120v DC
There are micro inverter panels that produce AC for grid tie
The pricing is ridiculous, and they sync to the utility grid and the power is output is not large
