Those huge flat rectangular panels full of solar cells sticking out on each side of the ISS are. They convert sunshine into electrical energy.
Well It has many Solar pannlrs that need to be channged every second year or so because they are coming out with new eco friendlyer solar pannles for the ISS and there are many windows in the ISS and many other things that would be to long to mention. That is what the ISS looks like.
The ISS has 8 wings of 2 blankets of retractable solar arrays each. Each of the wings is 35 metres long and 12 metres wide, containing almost 33,000 individual solar cells.
The mission of the ISS was to understand how mankind could live in space, not necessarily to further understand the solar system.
The ISS operates on electrical power collected from solar radiation by means of its enormous panels of photovoltaic cells.

A lot.

Yes and they are, look at a photo of the ISS and you will see large arrays of solar panels
Technically it can have any number of cells.
The primary power source is solar power from the large arrays connected to the station. There are also two backup generators and smaller fuel cells for various experiments.
depends 10 or more
silicon solar cells of 2 sqcm produces 0.5V and power of 0.7W. So to get 20Volts 40 solar cells are to be connected in sieries.
