Have flood light: can I add an external solar cell to it?
I have a Lithonia Lighting rectangular flood light that has a direct round base for electrical box. Can I wire in some sort of big box solar so it will go off during day (over grarge).

Buy a round weatherproof box extension. (Not really round but kind of a modified octagon) It will have threaded KOs. Put it on the wall box, screw a light sensor into one of the KOs. Put the light back on the extension. I've never used a solar sensor, but I've done this with motion sensors.
Yes. There are separate solar panels that are installed specifically for flood lights https://solwiser.com/am-solar-powered-flood-lights/
