The energy collected from the sun is called solar energy. The energy gets to the earth from the sun by radiation that has been affected by the earth's atmosphere.

Why is the sun's energy the major source of energy?

Fission depends on materials produced by ancient supernovas. Fusion depends on hydrogen collected from the same "pool" our own Sun came from. Fossil fuels derive from ancient collected-and-stored solar energy. Wind power derives from the Earth's rotation and sunlight. PE and solar oven type production depends on sunlight. This leaves tides... about 30-40% of which derive from Earth's rotation and the Sun's gravity. The balance is the Moon's gravity.
