The moon receives about the same flux of sunlight as the Earth.
Explanation:
That's because the Moon and Earth are it 220,000 to 260,000 miles from each other whereas they are both 93 million miles from the Sun. The Sun "sees" the Moon and Earth as basically next to each other.
During a new moon all that flux is still there. It just lands on the far side from Earth where we can't see it.
