Why do the individual cells on the solar PCB need spacing between them?

Why are there space between each cells on solar panel? Can we make them closely to minimize the whole panel size?

Not recommend.

It’s mostly to allow for expansion of the cells because they heat up from the sun and being in an enclosure.

You need to keep them from making electrical contact between them if any contaminants (dust, bugs, mold) get inside the panel – especially water.
