Short answer
Solar panels do work on cloudy days, just less. Panels respond to both direct sunlight and diffuse sunlight scattered by clouds and the atmosphere, so they usually still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. They produce the most electricity on clear days when direct sunlight hits the panels.
A battery lets you store excess solar energy and use it when the sun isn’t shining. See Why would I add a battery?
