As this is not mentioned, is it possible to extend the system by collecting rainwater falling on solar panels ?

The rainwater would fall off the slanted panels and fall onto the plants.

What is you installed a gutter? And made the down pipe go into a bucket

Sure you could do that, but... why?

To more evenly distribute the collected rainfall rather than to water just the plants sitting under the edge of each solar row? Or to use the rainfall for other farmy things?

the water should distribute itself evenly enough on most soils, but yes you could retrofit it with some distribution system.
