Answer:

Humans can't live off sunlight (among other reasons)because we don't have chlorophyll in our bodies. Chlorophyll takes the sun's energy and converts it into useable energy for plants to use. Adding energy to anything is not beneficial unless there is a mechanism to convert that energy into a useful form.
