What I understand from your question is that you want to know the ways to use photon energy as renewable energy.
1- The photon energy is used for photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen gas, which is an important energy carrier
2- The photons energy is transferred to electrons in the DSSC which directly converts solar energy to electricity with a higher efficiency that the traditional solar cells
3- the Solar cells which contain a semi conductors converts the photon energy to electricity
4- The Solar energy is concentrated and converted to laser beam (solar-pumped laser)
