[The Boys] If Homelander and Starlight were to shoot their respective beams at eachother, could Starlight charge her beams with the light from Homelander's beams given that her powers come from absorbing light?

Starlight's powers are from absorbing electricity, not light itself. This is often show off with lights because they're common to various locations, but it's in particular electricity as shown when she drains a car battery. So in those scenes she isn't absorbing the light itself but the voltage produced which lights them up. 

So no it wouldn't work.
