Helium can be created by ions striking hydrogen.

Helium is also created by hydrogen fusing in the sun and being blown out on the solar wind.



Actually, the helium in the solar wind is not the helium the Sun has made, it's primordial. The helium made by the Sun is in the core and does not get to the surface, because the Sun's convective layer does not reach into the part where fusion is happening.
