If you took a group of solar panels outside the solar system into interstellar space, would they produce power? Would they get power from other stars?

Solar panels are just backwards LEDs. As long as light in the correct wavelength(s) hits the cells, they will produce electricity.
The problem with putting them so far away is that the amount energy you can theoretically gather goes down exponentially the further away you’re from the sun.
