I'm building this circuit to work with a 12v 5w panel, ten 1.2v 4800mAh NiMH batteries, 200mA of LED light strip.

I've used a 1N4007, 10k half watt, and a BC328 for the PNP transistors. However the circuit isn't working. The LEDs aren't turning on when the panel is covered.
Is it the transistor I've selected, the resistor ohms or what's the best way to trouble shoot the circuit?
