LEDs do have teh advantage of being able to be tuned to the precise frequencies that chlorophyl absorbs best. Plants aren't that good at absorbing direct sunlight- they waste a lot of the spectrum. They waste so much spectrum that even accounting for solar panel and LED efficiency losses, you can come out ahead.
