Can a solar panel be used as a source of energy in a space probe sent to Uranus or beyond?

There is an abundance of solar power in space So solar panel can be used as an energy source in space. Uranus is a dull planet. It receives little heat from sun and it does not produce much on its own.This heat energy is not enough for the use of solar panel.

no i don't think so.

It is true that the sun's rays go their but it has a very less intensity, and solar panels work on light and the heat energy of the sun as the heat and light is low the solar panel will not produce enough energy needed.

Also it is not practical to do so.
