The size and screening mechanism of the solar giant cells are examined. A plane-parallel model of the inviscid flows within a stratified rotating layer is described. The vorticity equation for the flow is derived and stationary solutions of the equation that represent the convective roll patterns are obtained. The density stratification and solar rotation of the convection zones are investigated; it is observed that the density stratification of the convection zone causes screening of the flow pattern due to varying velocity amplitudes. The convective fluctuations in the stratified, differentially rotating layer with constant entropy gradient are analyzed. The analysis reveals that the most unstable modes of solar giant cell convection are modes with wavenumbers greater than eight and wavelengths between 100-150 Mm.
