we have been in banana trade for the last decade. to answer your question sunlight has nothing much to do in ripening of bananas as in their growing. With temperature rise due to sunlight ripening could be faster if the bananas are mature enough. yes undue sunlight on banana ripening will cause blackening of peel (due to heat).
i hope the anwer helps

∙ 14y agoThe bananas produce ethylene, which is the natural ripening agent of the fruit.
Ethylene is the chemical compound with the formula C2H4. It is the simplest alkene. Because it contains a double bond, ethylene is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon or an olefin. It is extremely important in industry and even has a role in Biology as a hormone. Ethylene is the most produced organic compound in the world; global production of ethylene exceeded 75 million metric tonnes per year in 2005.

∙ 13y agoBananas produce ethylene, a gaseous phytohormone that promotes ripening. There are several other types of fruit that do this -- apple and mango are two examples.

What gas causes food to ripen?
The gas that causes food to ripen is Methane - It's commonly used to ripen bananas on an industrial scale.
Why not put bananas in the fruit bowl?
For some reason, when bananas and other fruit (specifically apples) are settled together, the combination causes the bananas to ripen (and then OVER ripen) in a matter of a few hours. I am not sure why this is, just that it happens.
Why does an over-ripen banana in your fruit basket cause the other fruits to begin to spoil?
As bananas ripen they give off a gas that causes other fruit near them to ripen faster and then spoil.
How does a banana ripener ripen bananas?
The warmer it is , the faster they ripen
Do ripened bananas influence unripened bananas to start the ripening process?
In a sense, they do. As bananas ripen, they give off heat and ethylene gas, which stimulates other bananas (and other fruit) to ripen.
When do you take the bag off bananas?
I don't put my bananas in bags. Bananas will ripen with out a bag.
Can you make bananas ripen more slowly?
NO you cant they can ripen better if you leave them in the shade
How do you ripen bananas on tree?
Just let them grow. :)
How does a banana ripen on a counter?
u go bananas
What is the chemical used to ripen bananas?
Ethylene gas is used to accelerate the ripening process of bananas.
Why do bananas ripen even though they are not connected to the banana plant?
Bananas do not naturally ripen once plucked from the tree. Rather, commercially sold bananas are gassed with a special chemical that encourages ripening after they have already been harvested.
Why does a green banana and an apple ripens faster?
All fruit produce ethylene gas in order to ripen, so by keeping your apples and bananas together in the open you are speeding up the ripening process. Bananas ripen faster than apples, which is why they spoil first.
