Secret of the Ninth Planet | Donald A Wollheim

The sky was cloudless as usual. Burl assumed that the dimness was due to volcanic dust, or some unseen high cloud far away. And, indeed, as the expedition came to life, and the day began in earnest, nobody paid any attention to the fact that the Sun was not quite so warm as it should have been.

Mehso-so

(1965) When the sun suddenly seems to dim, scientists discover that some agency has placed "Sun-tap" stations around the solar system to draw off solar radiation and send it somewhere else for reasons yet to be discovered. Because of [plot], teenager Burl Denning joins a team of scientists tasked with traversing the system from Mercury to Pluto to restore the sun. It's as silly as it sounds, but also fun in a vintage-juvenile-sf way.
