A photocell converts light energy (radiant electromagnetic energy to be precise) into electrical energy.
A thermocouple can convert heat into electrical energy.
The radiant em conversion yields much more energy than a heat conversion.

How conversion of solar energy to light energy in solar road technology occurs?
Do you really mean to light energy? Solar energy is converted to electrical energy, which is then converted to mechanical energy when the vehicle moves.
What energy changes happen in a solar panel?
Solar or light energy is converted to electrical energy or thermal energy
Is solar powered by heat or light?
The energy of the sun is converted in light, which is then converted in heat. After that, the heat converts into electrical.
What energy transformations in solar calculator?
The energy transformation in a solar calculator is from radiant(light) energy to electrical energy.
What form of energy is sunlight converted to?
Solar energy can be converted into electricity using photo-voltaic cells which are piezo-electric components and create a current when they are in light. Solar energy is also converted to usable heat using water based solar panels connected to a buildings radiators or hot water supply. Solar energy can also be converted into potential energy by certain wavelengths energising electrons in an atom to move to a different energy level. This is normally released back as light but will be a certain colour dependant on the wavelength absorbed. Solar energy can also be used to assist chemical reactions in plants using photosynthesis
What can light energy be converted to?
solar energy

Is electrical energy is converted in to solar energy?
No. It's usually the other way around. Solar = from the sun, and we can't recharge the sun. Turning electric energy into light OTOH happens in every lightbulb.

How do solar cells produce energy?
In short, the light (electromagnetic energy) shining on the solar cell is converted directly to electric charge (potential energy). The increase in the electric charge can promote the flow of electric current in an external circuit, in much the same way as an ordinary electrical battery would.
What are two types of energy that can be converted directly to electricity?
Solar energy (photovoltaics) and kinetic energy in an electric generator
Is solar powered by heat or light?
The energy of the sun is converted in light, which is then converted in heat. After that, the heat converts into electrical.
How is sunlight converted into potential energy by plants?
Photosynthesis

Which energy is converted into electrical energy by in solar cell?
Solar energy.
What kind of energy goes into a car?
Fosil fuel energy,directly...solar indirectly...and converted to mechanical energy as well as electric energy by way of chemical energy.
