Abstract
Solar neutrinos interact within double-beta decay (\BB) detectors and contribute to backgrounds for \BB\ experiments. Background contributions due to solar neutrino interactions with \BB\ nuclei of $^{82}$Se, $^{100}$Mo, and $^{150}$Nd are evaluated. They are shown to be significant for future high-sensitivity \BB\ experiments that may search for Majorana neutrino masses in the inverted-hierarchy mass region. The impact of solar neutrino backgrounds and their reduction are discussed for future \BB\ experiments.
