During the day, the solar cell generates voltage
and turns ON the transistor Q2, so it doesn’t have
the current bias to the base of transistor Q1. Q1 is
OFF so the LED will go out.
When there is no sunlight, there’s no solar
current to base Q2 so it will not conduct, but at
the same time, transistor Q1 will conduct. Now

is connected to R3, the ...
