Questions

How big is the SolarLights PCB?

It measures 80 × 30.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SolarLights use?

22 parts, built around the IRLZ44N. 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.

Where can I download the SolarLights KiCad files?

From the StereoPythonics/Electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SolarLights/SolarLights.kicad_pcb and its schematic ATTinyCard/ATTinyCard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SolarLights design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
