Some of the sun's energy is converted into wind and water waves. Most of the sun's energy are absorbed by the primary producers.
Without the Sun that makes the water evaporate, there wouldn't BE any water energy.
Technically, hydroelectric energy ultimately comes from the sun. This is because the sun's energy heats up water, moving water through the water cycle. Hydroelectric energy is generated by harnessing the power created by the movement of this water.

Most of the sun's energy is absorbed near the surface.
water evaporates, makes clouds,prevents the sun light to reach the earth
The Sun continuously releases energy which takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth.
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
The sun. The sun's energy comes in the form of heat. This begins the cycle with evaporation.

The energy that drives the water cycle is from the Sun.
Thermal pool covers prevent water from evaporating. They help in locking the heat in the pool. So, the water stays hot for longer time. Unlike regular pool covers, thermal pool covers are made of special thermoplastic material, which attracts sun rays. So, the cover functions as solar heater and warms up the water using natural solar energy. So, thought you spend a little more for thermal pool covers, they help in saving electricity and water bills in the long run.
Sun energy is used to evaporate water. This is the initial step of water cycle.
The sun.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
