How about calling them SolarCarbons?

  Anyone with knowledge of high-school chem would understand there is no
such thing and (maybe) ask what makes them / how they exist.  Those less
knowledgeable (or inclined to ask) would eventually get on the bandwagon
that we need more of them since smart people think they're a good idea.

  SolarCarbon:  Any technologically produced carbon-based storage of solar
energy.
(This definition rules out things like trees and algae, since nature
probably already has a patent on them)
