Those solar cells do convert sunlight into electricity, but you must store it somehow for use on cloudy days or at night. Most applications use a bank of batteries for storage, batteries that must be replaced regularly at considerable expense. There is also the issue of the toxic chemicals used in the batteries.

There really is no such thing as a free lunch.
