According to Solar Tech Advisor, changing to a transparent panel could cost upwards of $25 per square foot. That's five times the cost of a traditional, roof-mounted solar panel.

These transparent solar panels would essentially be able to be added to windows – if not built directly into them – and then supply energy harnessed from sunlight.

Their material and also be prepared as a liquid, and the team expects manufacturing costs to be low. Engineers determined their transparent solar panels would maintain 80% efficiency after 30 years.
