If dektop effects is enabled, then the panel is transparent unless you 
selected a plasma theme that isn't.  You can test by moving a window 
behind the panel (note that with "panel" I assume you mean the taskbar). 
  You should be able to still see it behind the panel.

If it's not transparent enough, I don't know of a way to increase the 
transparency level.
