There is not enough information to answer the question. I would need to knoww unit price electricity per kWh, the size of the plates and how much each could generate etc.
to directly produce 220 vilts, would cost a gadzillion dollars. most solar cells produce between 5 and 24 volts of DC out put
The voltage isn’t the measure that you are interested in. A single solar cell with a voltage multiplier can generate 220 volts at very little cost, but that isn’t necessarily useful.
You need to be generate both voltage and amperage. If you want to run 30 amps at 220 volts to generate 6.6kW you would need to spend approximately $ 4/watt, which would come out to $ 26,400. This is just a ballpark estimate though.
The current you need is whats important. You could squeeze 220 volts out of a small solar cell with voltage triplers but its not going to produce enough current to do anything. Study up on the relationships between voltage, current, resistance, and wattage
