   The reality is probably that you uses solar energy when the sun   
   is shining, and chemical energy in the form of batteries when   
   solar energy is unavailable.   
      
   Storage batteries = NOT "totally solar".  Storage batteries =   
   chemical energy -> electrical energy.  They don't postpone   
   the use of solar energy, they use electrical energy which can   
   be from any source to make a chemical reaction.  When you use   
   a battery, another chemical reaction that results in the release   
   of electrical energy.  None of those processes involve solar   
   energy.
