It's useful to us because we can't naturally produce vitamin D without sunlight (other apes can, so something happened in our evolution.)

Some animals such as fish, amphibians and reptiles depend on heat coming from the sun to help regulate their body temperature.

Sunlight schedule also can regulate sleep and waking patterns.

Sunlight benefits animals indirectly because it's what plants use to make their food, which then are eaten and that energy is transferred up the food chain.

Some plants might depend on wind for seed dispersal, and sunlight helps with that.

Does solar energy waste energy?

Solar energy is energy, it can't waste energy.The process of converting incoming solar energy into other forms of energy that are more useful to us (which is often, confusingly, still called "solar energy") does in fact waste some of the input energy, since no real conversion process is 100% efficient.
