We say it produces solar energy because "solar" is the word for "sun". Therefore, no other body emits solar energy.

Heat is just one form of the solar energy. Other forms are light and many types of invisible radiation.

Fire has nothing to do with solar energy. The sun is a ball of hydrogen undergoing nuclear fusion. The fusion forms helium. The different forms of energy are by-products of the fusion.

Now that we've cleared up those misconceptions, do you want to ask another question?

Nothing other than the sun (Sol) can produce SOLAR energy, however, any source of heat and / or light can be used to power a solar powered device, because these devices are using either light or heat from the sun to provide their energy. The light or heat could come from any source. However, the energy required to produce to source other than the sun would exceed the energy produced by the solar device, so it really doesn't make any sense to do this.

Any incandescent lamp or fire with a high temperature gives of light similar to sunlight (full spectrum lamps are examples), but solar energy is from a nuclear fusion reaction, not a chemical reaction or electricity passing through a resistance. And Sun emits many other things apart from light.

the sun light contains all kinds of energy and radiation. a fire from burning wood requires oxygen for it to burn and releases carbon dioxide. the fire of the sun requires no such thing, its the result of burning and converting hydrogen at the core of the star and radiations and light is released as a result. however a nuclear bomb does produce the sort of light and energy a star produces.
