Can any type of solar cell/solar panel convert light into electricity instantaneously? It does not matter if the amount of electricity is extremely small or not, just as long as it can be detected immediately. Is this possible?

at the speed of light
The act of forcing electrons from a surface due to photon/solar radiation is called an electromotive force. This displacement of electrons is what gives rise to current/electricity in solar cells. It occurs at the speed of light that is striking the plate, minus the speed difference due to resistance in the wire.
Speed of light really. think of a solar calculator.
