In many ways - in vegetables, in batteries, in heated water, and as hydrogen fuel. It's even possible to use solar energy to grow algae, then turn the algae into biomass, and then into biofuel. There a.re many ways, but not all are practical for everyone.

Yes. Heat from a solar collector can be stored in tanks of water or rocks. A passive collector may be a heavy concrete or brick wall that absorbs heat during the day, and radiates the heat at night. Solar electrical power is stored in rechargeable batteries, and used later. I have solar powered lights outside my home- in the daytime, they charge their batteries from a photocell, and turn on at night.

How is solar energy stored energy?

Solar energy, whether heat or light, is not stored energy. It is radiant energy. It needs to be converted in order to store it. Plants produce glucose, which stores it as chemical energy. Solar heat installations usually store it as heat in a fluid. Solar electric installations produce current electricity, which can be stored in various ways including batteries and pumped water storage.
