Light travels fast because it doesn't have mass (only composed of photons) and doesn't interact with the Higgs field, which is the mechanism that slows down everything with rest mass.

Is electricity a form of light itself? how many different forms does light come in? is it classified as energy in the sense it can turn into something else? or isn't energy since it lacks 'mass'?

Visible light is electromagnetic radiation and a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Both are part of the phenomena we call "electromagnetism." The difference between electricity and light is electricity is a form of energy in the presence of charged particles. Light does not carry any charge itself, so it does not attract or repel charged particles like electrons.

Light carries radiant energy.

How does solar take 'light' and convert it to energy such as electricity if there is no process of charges occurring. Surely light can be stored because it is stored in solar panel and then processed and converted into kinetic energy.

I'm sure a simple Google search will give you a satisfying answer, sxb.
