It measures 40.9 × 25.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
27 parts, built around the BC847 and BC857. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the Martin1995/4-Transistor-Solar-Light repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/4 Transistor Solar Light SMD/4 Transistor Solar Light SMD.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Martin1995 before reusing the design.
