[The Matrix] If the humans hadn't blocked out the sun in an attempt to cut off the machines from the energy the sun was providing them, what changes?

Essentially it was this that led to the machines developing humanity itself as the machine's primary power source. This of course includes the development of the matrix itself. 

So how would things have gone differently? Would the matrix exist as it does as a result of operation dark storm?

You should really watch the Animatrix but to summarize if the humans had stopped being huge stupid asshats nothing would have happened, the robots would have just lived on their island peacefully trading and putting out diplomatic efforts, learning and growing, helping upgrade humans, and eventually transhumanity would have traveled the stars together without any sign of who started as what.
