Animals get their solar energy by eating either 1) plants, or 2) other animals. Only plants possess the power of photosynthesis (the euglena is kind of an arguable case).

Ancient animals received stored energy from the sun indirectly by consuming plants or other animals that had converted solar energy through photosynthesis into chemical energy. This energy was then transferred up the food chain as animals fed on each other, allowing ancient animals to obtain the energy they needed to survive.
Cellular Respiration is when plant and animal cells release energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.
Energy is stored in carbohydrates. It is storing as chemical energy.
Stored energy that is ready to be used is typically called potential energy. This energy is stored in an object due to its position or state, and can be converted to kinetic energy when the object is in motion.
Energy is not stored in lights (not electric ones at least). Energy is used by lights.
Energy is stored in a food chain through the process of photosynthesis and chemical energy stored within plants. This energy is transferred to herbivores when they consume the plants, and then to carnivores when they consume the herbivores. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
