However, very soon these may be problems of the past. Recently developed technology to produce thin-film solar panels can make them flexible so that they could be rolled up into sheets and laid out on a roof without being very apparent. In recent years, the cost of using solar panels has reduced as their efficiency has increased. According to Abound Solar, a company based in Colorado, thin-film solar panels can be used to generate energy at $1 per watt, which is very low when compared the effective cost of $4 per watt while using silicone solar panels.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThough thin-film solar panels aren\u2019t as effective as silicone solar panels, which can harness about 20.3% of the total energy incident on them, efforts are going on to increase their efficiency so that using solar energy can be more convenient and affordable.<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instalbiz.com\/news\/3-full-news-affordable-renewable-energy-with-thin-film-solar-panels_654.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">instalbiz<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Major drawbacks in using silicone panels to harness solar energy are their cost and their bulky nature.
