Does anyone know , how much dc does the Eskom PV stations generate. That is the solar panel dc voltage. And how does they add it all up , to make a huge current. I know the AC voltage is anything from 22kv to 44kv.

You sound confused.
Even if you had the answer, its a meaningless value for anyone to use.

the normal solar panel is 12v, so I want to know if the eskom one's is also 12Vdc.

Normal panel voltages are about 36V for a 300W panel.
A 250-300W panel is typically made up of 60-72 cells or so.
These panels will normally be wired in series for the end voltage for a string to match whatever inverter they are using.
Can be up to 1000V or so in Grid Tied inverter setup.
Smaller offgrid inverters usually work in parallel for less voltage, more amps.
Its a meaningless question and a useless answer though.

The voltage is jacked up so that the current can be brought down to a minimum. This works best for long distance transmission of the electricity.
