  Indeed, there are solar panels on the satellites and they generate power to run it. However as you go further away from the sun it becomes more difficult – See this NASA article about the different missions that used solar systems etc – https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/what-powers-a-spacecraft/en/#:~:text=Solar%20power%20is%20energy%20from,electricity%20that%20powers%20the%20spacecraft.&text=However%2C%20solar%20power%20doesn't%20work%20for%20all%20spacecraft.
