in other words is it possible to form a solar panel in a thick wire?
what i mean is, can it be done not a matter of output moreso of capability to be made.

It needs the surface area. If a wire was used you would need panels to focus the light on the wire so no space is saved.

There’s no reason why a material built as a sheet couldn’t be built as just a very very narrow sheet and be like a wire, but why would you want to? Key to the effectiveness of solar power is how much light they can capture and then make use of, which is multiplied by a factor proportional to width in a rectangle or whatever. Area is good.
