Your first problem is that energy comes from the sun, not to the sun.

1) Plants and animals grow using sunlight and storing energy in their bodies.
2) They die and get buried.
3) 300 million years later they have been reduced by the heat and pressure to hydrocarbons in the form of heavy oil. If you are lucky then the surrounding rocks trap these hydrocarbons.
4) Then an oil company drills a deep hole in the Alaskan permafrost and extracts this oil.
5) The oil goes across hundreds of miles of Alaskan wilderness not leaking a single drop over the tundra and gets to a refinery.
6) The refinery cracks long molecule chains into shorter ones and distils the lighter components off as gasoline.

First, you have it backwards. energy comes from the sun or more correctly came from the sun in the distant past to become gasoline. The energy of the sun produced plant life from which animal life at the time depended back in the Devonian and Silurian periods. This life died and decayed and eventually was covered over with later epochs which put it under pressure. The dead matter was eaten by bacteria that does not require the oxygen rich environment of the surface and is known as anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria produces methane and methane like gasses that under pressure became liquid and in some cases solid (coal). these are the substances from which we derive gasoline.

In the sun, nuclear fusion takes place and light and heat are emitted
which is converted into energy by plants. These gradually will die and this matter, when subjected to great heat and pressure is converted into oil, which is refined to get gasoline.
