The human body is unable to convert the sun's energy to carbohydrates because it has no photosynthetic structures.

Plants do have such structures, called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, which is a photosensitive chemical which transforms energy from light into chemical energy to help break water into hydrogen and oxygen, and break carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen, so they can re-combines into assemblages of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, otherwise known as carbohydrates.
