I believe Sun/light is a symbol for how others views Mersault.  The sun is always on Mersault and it seems like he's the only one being affected by it. He is always being "Judged" by the sun and this stresses Mersualt out along with making him confused on what to do. This develops the theme that society has a certian set of standards that are to be followed.  The can be tied into how Mersault doesn't have a religion and that society looks down on that.
