Solar panels use expensive semiconductor material to generate electricity directly from sunlight. Semiconductor factories need 'clean' manufacturing environments and are expensive to build & maintain.The rest of the sunlight that strikes the panel is wasted as heat.

Answer 2

Answer:

The technology is expensive. Whether in the form of water-heating solar panels, or photovoltaics to generate electricity from sunlight (like in the accompanying image of solar panels on the Space Station), the solar energy technology is relatively expensive compared to, say, coal-fired power plants.
