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.
