Still, what if you consider a fixed volume as the constraint in establishing the comparison? For a flat panel assembly, a given volume would constrain the surface quite obviously. If you consider a tree structure one might be able to pack some more panels in the same volume, and Fibonacci might give us some solution about how to maximize panel density in the volume while minimizing shading interference from other panels and supporting infrastructure.

If you want to maximize the given volume a tree doesn't seem like the optimum ... covering the whole surface of the volume should be the optimum (to receive every reflected light). Also the tree has a lot more solar cells than this kids flat panel and he is still only measuring voltage.
