Generally speaking all life in the oceans is one big food chain - which at the very bottom consists of plankton - the most abundant, and lowest form of which depend on sunlight for photo-synthesis. Without these plankton, the food chain would suffer a chain-reaction of starvation which would eventually stretch all the way up to sharks.
Other than that, the shark is not particularly dependent on the sun for light, as it tends use non-visual senses for hunting - it's sight only being good in very clear water.
It has adapted to sunlight by the colouring of is underneath being much lighter that the top side, so that prey looking up at it from below do not easily see it against the brightness where the water meets the air.
