The axio-electric effect in silicon atoms is sought for solar axions appearing owing to bremsstrahlung and the Compton process. Axions are detected using a Si(Li) detector placed in a low-background setup. As a result, a model-independent constraint on the axion-electron coupling constant $|g_{Ae}| \leq 2.2\times 10^{-10}$ has been obtained, which leads to the bounds $m_{A}\leq$ 7.9 eV and $m_{A}\leq$ 1.4 keV for the mass of the axion in the DFSZ and KSVZ models, respectively (90% C.L.).
