Note that the RCWL-0516 "Vin" must be 5V within a few percent; you cannot run it directly from a 9V solar panel.
If it has been connected to 9V it may have been damaged.
Add a decent size electrolytic capacitor between Vin and GND; GND should be connected to the overall ground and 555 VCC should also go to the 5V supply.
The OUT terminal should feed the resistors linked to the 555 to enable/disable oscillation.
For the 555, the "discharge" pin should be linked to the junction between the two resistors, or it will not oscillate.
