Yep. I also know that they're pretty inefficient and expensive and toxic to manufacture and dispose of. Which makes them a problem for large-scale solar installations.
Solar is great for when there's sun. Once the sun's out, not so much.
I remember reading somewhere a while back that the investment in solar panels doesn't really pay off because of the somewhat low life expectancy (~10 years) and high costs. Is that because of the batteries also?

You know solar panel systems often have batteries, right?
