??? Are you looking for an experiment which utilizes sunlight?
The best and easiest experiments would probably involve photosynthesis, the process by which plants and algae take up water and CO2, use sunlight to make food in the form of glucose. For instance, you can analyze the effects of how much light is exposed to plants on the growth and health of the plants (or algae, both will work). Another cool one might be to see the effects of growing algae in colored light, to see which light spectrum is best absorbed by chlorophyll. Another interesting one might be trying to mess with phototropism, which is the phenomena in which plants will grow towards teh light.

1. Try sprouting different kinds of seeds in sunlight and in darkness.
2. Compare plant or algae growth in sunlight vs. fluorescent light. Actually, duckweed is pretty simple to study because you can count the number of leaflets to see how much it is growing.
3. Make holes and walls in a carton to see if a plant can find its way through a simple maze to reach the sunlight.

You could grow a plant in a room that has a window through which the sun shines through. See if the plant grows towards the light.
Outside plants, you could see if the sun does perform functions such as tanning, if your skin tans, or if water is evaporated and if the heat from the sun can power a solar cell.

DNA Nucleotide Excision repair-
Exposure to ultraviolet light causes Thymine Dimers to form in your DNA
You could compare the effects of light repair with photolyase
or excision repair (DARK repair) by excision enzymes
