Hello Justin.
I too have had some powerful experiences with the sun. One of the best, which was actually more of a daydream, was when I was meditating in a pool last August. After attaining higher plane awareness, the sun blotted out as if in a total solar eclipse. I felt an outpouring of energy which radiated my physical body with enhanced power.
After breaking meditation, I was able to swim like the best of olympic swimmers without any fatigue. It took hours for the extra energy to subside. I think that being a vegetarian and eating proper food may also have an influence.
It reminds me of the breatharians to which Sergey mentions:
: : : On non-eating:
: : : There are people calling themselves
: : : breatharians. There are supposedly several
: : : hundred of them living on Earth at the present
: : : time. These people do not eat or drink, but
: : : feed on prana alone. In their view, eating
: : : is not necessary, and we eat simply because
: : : we believe we have to (or beacause we got
: : : used to it). Becoming one sounds like a good
: : : idea from the point of view of 'ahimsa'
: : : (or non-killing). As soon as one realizes that
: : : the Universe is conscious, killing/eating
: : : becomes impossible or painful (because one
: : : realizes the suffering one causes to another
: : : being by eating it).

Here is an interesting link to a website that has images suggesting a solid layer on the surface of the sun:
