Solar energy

What is the mechanism by which electricity is produced from solar energy?

	Sunlight moves through transparent windows and the heat is absorbed by thermal materials in the room.
	Sunlight reacts photo chemically with Nitrogen Oxide.
	Plants absorb sunlight and convert it into food by photosynthesis.
	Electrical power lines are used to transmit electricity.
	Individual light particles (photons) which are absorbed in a semiconductor create electric current.
