Wildfires aren’t caused just by sunlight, I’m not sure where you heard that and I’m interested in seeing any source that says that. Intense sunlight leads to high temperatures and dry conditions, which are optimal for starting fires. All wildfires are caused by humans or lightning, with other natural meteorological or geographical factors being responsible for an extremely small amount. None of them are being started by just the sun alone
