So try to imagine light basically just passing through a solid element through the atoms, but there are no electrons, orbiting the atoms, or you could somehow stop the electrons from absorbing light.
Would any solid object become transparent, or invisible.

You mean transparent like glass?

You can't stop photons from interacting with electrons. Photons produce an electromagnetic field, and charged particles like electrons respond to an electromagnetic field.
