NEVER! Panels are made up of two dimensional arrays of cells. A finished assembly can not logically cost LESS than any of its component pieces. Therefore the question about cells being more expensive can be emphatically and truthfully answered NEVER!

How expensive are solar panels for a home?
Solar panels range from 200 dollars to thousands. It depends on how much energy you want to generate and how big the solar panels are. Bigger panels make more energy, and they cost a lot more. But once you buy it, you won't have to pay for electricity bills.
Why is solar energy not yet more widely used?
The panels need a lot of room and the systems are expensive.
Is solar panel an expensive or cheap method to use?
It depends. If you only use solar panels for a little bit of time they seem very expensive but if you use solar panels for years and years they seem less expensive. If the prices stay the same they do now, in 15 years solar panels would still cost a bit more than regular energy but the keyword is if. Since there will be more demand in energy and less supply of fossil fuels the prices of those will probably rise. Also since there will be more demand for energy, solar panels will probably cost more to install in the future than now.
What source is cheaper to use solar energy or gasoline?
Solar power is a newer source of energy so it is more expensive to build solar panels, but is eco-friendly and renewable.
How are solar panels manufactured?
The solar panels are manufactured by soldering the desired cells in series or parallel depending of the performance and capacity of the cells, in series you increase voltage but in parallel you increase current and capacity. I bought some DIY Guides that helps you to make your own solar and you save more than 75% by creating you the solar panels.

Why does adding solar panels help with energy use?
Solar panels, although initially expensive to install - provide free energy from sunlight. The more energy a home uses from sunlight - the less they spend on fossil fuels.
If sunlight is free why is generating electrical energy from solar cells expensive?
The cost is in manufacturing the solar cells. It takes people, materials such as pure silicon and expensive machines to manufacture the solar cells. As researchers find cheaper materials and more efficient ways to make the cells, and the manufacturing volume goes up, solar cells will become cheaper.
Do solar panels get more heat from the sun?
No, solar panels do not create heat they create energy
Where can I read up on solar panels?
Solar Panels collect energy from the sun and holds onto this energy until it is needed. Although the cost can get pretty expensive, monthly bills for light usage will disappear. You can go to http://solartribune.com/what-is-solar-power/ for more detail.
Why aren't solar panels more common?
they aren't as common because they are expensive. they are like hybrid cars. they are still a new product.
How is solar panels cheaper?
Solar panels are cheaper because your consistently producing your own electricity by using solar panels. If you produce more electricity then the electric company will pay you.
Why are solar panels dark?
solar panels are in black and in dark blue color because they absorb more energy
