Cloroplasts!
A light absorbing pigment or colored substance that traps the energy in sunlight
energy from sunlight is trapped by chlorophy11, located in the thylakoid membranes
from heat and sunlight

I'm pretty sure that it is Carbon Dioxide.
Energy from sunlight is trapped by plants through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The energy from sunlight is stored in the chemical bonds of glucose, which can then be used by the plant for growth and energy.
The green pigment inside leaves is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.
Sunlight and Water
The energy trapped in covalent bonds in glucose initially comes from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose molecules.
Sunlight gets trapped in the chlorophyll, which convert it into chemical energy. (ATP) The cell cannot use raw sunlight, but it has to use some sort of energy to perform most tasks.
The sunlight that strikes a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis is reflected back by the leaf. Only certain wavelengths of solar energy is absorbed by a leaf.
