I think that Apollo represented the Sun, and Helios was literally the sun, the actual object. Thus while Apollo represents sunlike qualities of brilliance, sunny power, Helios is the literal thing itself. Helios wasn't a god but a personification. I can't seem to remember any temples whatsoever made to Helios, or religious addresses or anything.
