In this case, I think “sol” actually means “ground”. “sol” is the stem
of “solaire”, “ensoleillement”, etc., all of which have to do with the
sun, however as is, it has no meaning related to the sun; whereas it
does mean “ground”, as in “the surface one walks on” (that is, not the
electrical meaning).

“Ptite” would be a casual spelling of “Petite”...

As you noted, it seems to me the object is used to create some ground
lighting that depends on the time of the day.

There is

  <animation>
    <object-name>jour</object-name>
    <enable-hot type="bool">false</enable-hot>
  </animation>

that AFAIK is meant to prevent collisions, although I don't know if it
is correctly used here (maybe 'enable-hot' should be in under the two
other 'animation' elements?). Sorry, I'm rather clueless about these
things.
