Can solar panels be used in residential settings?

In residential settings, solar panels currently have limitations due to the lack of effective storage solutions for excess solar power generated on sunny days when a home doesn't require as much electricity. However, solar panels can still be used in residential settings to offset some energy consumption, and technological advancements are expected to address the storage issue in the future.
