Answer: Yes provided, that its big enough and have good exposure to sunlight, then it can supply charging power to a set of batteries that is connected to an invertor to invert the batteries DC power, to mains AC, preferably a sine wave to drive induction motors and Transformers, a square wave tend to make induction motors noisy and transformers don't work to there full capacity .
Anything. All things that can be powered by fossil fuels (electricity) can be powered by solar power :)

Yes
Yes. It gathers the most light energy when perpendicular to the the light source.
No. A battery is a constant voltage source. Batteries are sold as having a specific voltage (1.2 volts, or 1.5 volts per cell), not a specific current.
No, cell phones draw too much power to be supplied by solar cells, unless you used a large solar panel. But you certainly can't build a solar cell into the back of the phone like you would a solar calculator. For example, one web source says a cell phone draws about 1 W. Another web source says solar panels can put out about 1.2 W for 100 cm2 in bright sunlight. So to power the cell phone you'd need a solar panel at least as large as a CD, probably more like a sheet of paper.

Efficiency = energy out as electricity / energy in as light At full sun, there is approximately 1000W/m^2 Since your solar cell is not a square meter, you have to scale the answer. Step 1 : Convert the Cell Area (mm sq.) to Meter Square Step 2 : Divide the known wattage by the area M square Example : If it is 156 mm x 156 mm Sq. Cell , then the Area would be : 0.24336 M. Sq Now, if the Wattage is 3.86 Wp , then the efficiency would be 3.86 divided by 0.24336, = 15.86%
A solar cell is not an energy source, but an energy converter. In the case of solar, the energy source is light, and the solar cell converts it from light energy to electrical energy.
solar light is the source of energy for a solar light
The sun. Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation excites electrons in the solar cell and is transformed into electrical energy.

The cells used to convert solar energy into electricity are called photovoltaics. Solar photovoltaics are now the third most important renewable energy source in the world.

Solar energy.
The function of solar cell is to convert the energy from the sun into electricity. This is commonly referred to as a photovoltaic cell.
Basically, the ultimate source of energy for anything on earth can be considered solar energy. Moreover, on a wider outlook, the ultimate source of energy for the stars, galaxies and all could be the big bang which formed matter in this universe
It is a cell that coverts solar energy into electrical energy
The solar cell coverts the sun light into energy/electricity
