Is sunlight and solar energy the same thing?
Not exactly. Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Sun light is the light emitted from the sun, but does not necessarily mean 'energy used'.

About Solar Energy
Solar Energy takes energy from the sun and transforms it into heat and electricity. The solar energy industry has been developing more rapidly in recent years, as it is a completely renewable energy form that doesn't contribute to global warming. It has trouble competing with fossil fuels due to the massive government subsidies that fossil fuels receive as compared to the renewable energy industry.
About Sun
The sun is a star called Sol at the center of the Solar system. Just about every form of life in Earth depends on its existence.
