they store energy too

It's basically their food. for energy.
like humans they have to 'eat' too, for energy.
You know it's rather infeasible that even with photosynthesis, they'd be able to gather enough energy at any one time to cloak themselves both optically and render themselves undetectable to sensory mechanisms whilst still being able to perform respiration/transpiration/whateverthehelltheydotoreleasewaste, right?
PS: Even though photosynthesis is a method to gather food, it doesn't inherently make their ships giant solar panels capable of converting said food/minerals directly back to energy that can be USED for that kind of thing.
