The first statement is correct.

Explanation: Photovoltaic cells require light (photons) to generate electricity. Photosynthesis has light-dependent reactions (need light to make ATP and NADPH) and light-independent reactions (the Calvin cycle), which do not directly require light but use the energy carriers produced by the light reactions.
