Most of it is absorbed as heat. The green wavelengths of light are reflected. The blues and reds are used to excite electrons to trigger pathways to create NADPH, ATP and oxygen. Eventually glucose will be made as well. This glucose can then be stored or used in cellular respiration.
When the trees and vegetation were growing they took in solar energy through photosynthesis. This energy was stored in the plants as hydrocarbons. It remains there as the plants, over millions of years, become fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

Stored as chemical energy in glucose
Solar energy is stored in living organisms through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be stored as starch or cellulose. Animals, including humans, then obtain this stored energy by consuming plants or plant-eating animals.
The sun's energy is harnessed by plants through photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy in the form of sugars. When you eat plant-based foods or animals that have consumed plants, you obtain the stored solar energy, which your body then metabolizes to fuel your cells and provide you with energy.
Light energy is not stored in the traditional sense like electricity in a battery. Light can be converted into other forms of energy, such as chemical energy in plants during photosynthesis or electrical energy in solar panels. However, once the light source is removed, the energy dissipates.
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.
An example of solar energy being converted into chemical energy is through the process of photosynthesis in plants. During photosynthesis, plants use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a form of chemical energy) and oxygen. This stored chemical energy can be used by the plant for growth and maintenance.
it is the energy stored in batteries
The process described is called energy conversion or transformation. In this specific example, solar energy is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis in plants, where sunlight is used to produce glucose as a form of stored energy.
solar energy consist of both heat energy and light energy.light energy is used by green plants and this energy is stored in food particles that is created in leaves.heat energy is used by man for drying purpose.solar water heater are human created instruments using solar energy
Solar cells have stored solar energy that is converted into electrical energy.
