Yeah, I don't take issue with this at all. It's just definition and semantic preferences. "Power" to me usually references agency, so I would be quick to broaden the use of the word or add other words.
We do know how the sun makes it energy; which is not to say why that is the case. There will always be the question of "well, why is it that way and not some other way?".
We will always be left with "well, because such and such made it that way. we don't really understand such and such because such and such is timeless, immaterial, etc. It's all just a mystery!".
I find that unsatisfactory, but it will always be there.
