it takes a ton of them to power a home
most only put out 45 watts, [cheaper ones]
solar is not cheap
its more expensive than electricity

It’s possible to put together pre-made solar cells into your own panels, but the result will be far less durable, and more costly than simply buying commercial panels.
You may encounter some websites offering to sell you information on how you can power your home cheaply with homemade panels. Every one of those I’ve seen is a scam. Save your money.
Do you need a lot of panels to make electricity? To make a system that is worth it generally takes at least a dozen panels, although I’m sure exceptions exist. Also, it generally needs a professional install to meet legal requirements, although a few skilled homeowners do manage to do their own.
