rechargeable ones so that they can build up charge when the sun is out. then when it's dark you still have power. i know everyone hates cut and pastes but it's a good explanation;

How do Solar panels work?
SOLAR PANEL systems work by converting the suns energy into electricity, which is stored in a battery/ batteries. A regulator lies between the battery and the solar panel which protects the battery from over-charging. The regulator may also have discharging protection as draining the battery excessively will cause it long term damage. Energy can be taken out of the battery as required (12 or 24 Volts DC) using a transformer to convert to 220/240V if required. Control systems may shut down power draining equipment automatically to preserve the battery. Display units are available so that vital working of the solar panels and batteries can be monitored.
