What are two ways in which the sun's energy can be captured and used? How can both be used in a home?

The following exist:
Artificial photosynthesis: Plants can photosynthesize, but we can do it artificially to power anything requiring energy.
Solar thermal energy or STE is a process where the light is reflected from a mirror or lense to heat up anything.
Photovoltaics or Heat collectors (Solar panels): they absorb the sun's electromagnetic energy and converts it into electricity.
All of these technologies are very similar to each other... this was a good question

Photosynthesis is a great example: plants use the sun's energy to grow and reproduce. Solar energy-power from the sun is a vast and inexhaustible resource that people have recently discovered and it's used for light and heat.

The sun's energy can be captured using photovoltaic cells to generate electricity and through solar thermal systems to provide heat. Photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into electricity for home use, while solar thermal systems provide hot water and heating. These methods promote energy efficiency and sustainability in households.
