Direct heating of solar-designed homes, solar water-heating, and electrical
energy from solar 'photovoltaic' cells, is all directly from the sun.
The main types of energy we get directly from the sun are solar radiation, which can be converted into electricity through solar panels, and solar thermal energy, which is used for heating water or spaces through solar collectors.

Any energy produced directly by the sun is called solar energy.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth.
Durin a total solar eclipse, the moon is directly between the sun and the Earth.
The Moon blocks the sun by passing directly between the earth and the Sun causing a solar eclipse. It is just the right size at its distance to cover the sun.
