Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. This involves the absorption of solar energy by the panels' semiconductor material, which generates an electric current. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, or stored in batteries for later use.
The main type of energy conversion that happens to a ball thrown in the air as it reaches its apex is the conversion of kinetic energy (energy of motion) into potential energy (energy of position). At the apex, the ball has momentarily stopped moving vertically, so its kinetic energy is at a minimum and its potential energy is at a maximum.
light energy to elctrical energy
The main type of energy conversion that happens to a ball thrown in the air as it goes up is from kinetic energy (energy of motion) to potential energy (stored energy due to position). As the ball moves upwards against the force of gravity, its kinetic energy decreases while its potential energy increases.
The potential energy of the apple decreases as it falls towards the earth due to a conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. This conversion occurs as gravitational potential energy is transformed into motion energy while the apple accelerates towards the ground.
Mechanical energy is converted into thermal energy when you rub your hands together. The friction between your hands causes them to generate heat, which warms them up.

Chemical energy is transformed to mechanical energy and some heat energy
It's never "consumed". It is converted into other forms of energy ... and at each conversion some is converted into heat. Sooner or later (with each conversion) it all turns into heat energy.
