Yes you can and its easy!
Build yourself two FLED solarengines and connect them to the same Solarcell and Cap then just each FLED (where it connects to 0v) place a photodiode or LDR. The feelers should then short out the the photodiode/LDR.... Wait, this is getting hard to explain so heres a quick diagram:

Hope this helps.
Nik.
