Morphology

sunniness = sunny (transparent) = sun + y + ness

Formed by the adjective 'sunny' + nominalizing suffix '-ness'; the literal meaning 'filled with sunshine' follows standard derivation rules.

Etymology

Sunniness comes from sun meaning 'the star that gives light and warmth' and the ending -ness meaning 'a quality or state'. So sunniness literally means 'the quality of being full of sunlight', which is why we use it for a bright, sun-filled place.
