The light from the sun provides the energy source that is required to initiate photosynthesis. Light is made up of photons which are "packets" of energy, and the energy from these packets excite the electrons on the plant's pigments. There are special proteins in the chloroplasts that utilize this energy and end up storing the energy in glucose (the main product of photosynthesis).
