Indirectly yes.
Plants need sunlight to photosynthesize. We eat the plants/vegetables which give us glucose. Glucose is needed for respiration. One of the products of respiration is energy.
The equation of photosynthesis:
Carbon dioxide + Water ----> Glucose + Oxygen
The equation of respiration:
Oxygen + Glucose ----> Energy + Carbon dioxide + Water
