Answer:

NADPH is formed on the stromal side of the thylakoid membrane, so it is released into the stroma. In a process called non-cyclic photophosphorylation (the "standard" form of the light-dependent reactions), electrons are removed from the water and passed through PSII and PSI before ending up in NADPH.
