While this is ultimately true, a huge gain can be made by connecting a system to the "grid". Grid tied systems can dump energy back into the grid when it is needed the most and you don't therefore need cumbersome and expensive batteries. Battery systems can almost double the cost of a solar installation by the time in include materials and labor.

The basic purpose of solar systems were conventionally thought to be only for cooking and heating water. But today one can actually run so many appliances with the power of sun.

What was interesting was you say that almost any appliance can be powered by solar panels.
