You have to work around this problem with batteries...
It's only a problem if you want to use the energy for systems that must be always available. If you intend to use it to power a factory, let's say to make more panels, you just operate 50% of time that, without clouds or any atmosphere filter, is actually better than on Earth.
For continuous support, take a nuclear reactor or build a wired net near a pole so when night comes to one station, you receive power from another.
