A battery is a storage tank for electrons. The battery runs things from stored power created elsewhere. Think of it like the hot water heater, you want a longer shower, get a bigger tank. But if the water is shut off, the shower is a moot point.

A solar panel makes power from sunlight. The solar panel is most like a generator, but a generator makes power from gasoline.

Electricity moves at the speed of light, so if you don't have a battery to catch the power made by your generator or solar panel, the generator or solar panel must be on to run the appliances. A battery allows you to catch small amounts of power all day, and then turn on the microwave when you need it.
