They are totally different! A plant cell is something that is a constituent part of most plants, whereas a solar cell is something used to convert solar energy into electricity. I.e the first is a living thing whereas the latter is not.
turn solar energy into nutrients
They all use solar energy
solar furnace is real fire. solar cells are little fires.
Solar cells are single pieces. A solar module is a collection of cells on a surface connected together and usually protected from the weather.
The fundamental difference between plant cells and animal cells is that plant cells have much larger vacuoles, possess chloroplasts, and have a cell wall as opposed to a cell membrane. Animal cells do not need these things for the simple fact that they can't convert solar energy into chemical energy and don't need that much water to survive.
chloroplasts in the plant's cells
A chloroplast is most like a solar cell. It absorbs light which begins photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthesis provides a plant with the energy, a.k.a. ATP, to go about the activities it must to do live.
One makes electricity while the other just heats

Plant cells and solar cells BOTH convert sunlight into energy. In the case of plants it is chemical energy - for solar cells it is electricity. Plants use organic processes but solar cells use inorganic semiconductors.
Chloroplasts are used to convert solar radiation into energy for the plant... This means they can make their own food. Animals do not do this.
