No, light energy does not cause water molecules to split up. Water molecules can be split into hydrogen and oxygen using a process called electrolysis, which involves passing an electric current through water.
An electrolyzer is a device that converts mechanical energy to chemical energy by using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
The key problem with using water splitting to store energy is the inefficiency of the process. The energy required to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is often greater than the energy stored in the resulting hydrogen fuel. Additionally, storing and transporting hydrogen can be challenging and expensive due to its low energy density and high flammability.
The sun supplies radiant energy in the form of sunlight. This energy is essential for life on Earth as it provides heat and light.
Light cannot be converted directly into water. However, light energy is essential for the process of photosynthesis in plants, where water molecules are split to produce oxygen and hydrogen, which is used to create sugars.
The sun
Sun supplies energy. It initiates the first step of water cycle.
Water molecules are split by the sun's energy during the process of photosynthesis to release oxygen and hydrogen.

Light from the sun
Best for what? Not powering cars. The advantages of "water energy" is that nature supplies it "free" (as a result of sunlight and the hydrological cycle) and that its "renewable". As long as the sun shines.
TAE
Photosynthesis.
The first cells to split water were likely early photosynthetic bacteria or archaea, such as cyanobacteria. These organisms evolved the ability to split water through a process called photosynthesis, which allowed them to generate energy from sunlight and produce oxygen as a byproduct.
Yes oceans drive water cycle supply. Water is evaporated from oceans.
Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen either:Thermally (water thermo-chemical decomposition) using high grade thermal energy (at temperature preferably above 1000 Co ), orElectrically (water electrolysis) using electrical energy.
