The solar panels seems to be designed to catch some solar wind (if that's even viable), in addition to generate electricity, but the engine works with fuel. There is no (yet) any full electric space engine.
I'm hoping there are more details about living conditions, habitats on planet, and other aspects of such a trip. While other companies may eventually provide solutions to those parts of an expedition, I fully expect SpaceX to have to figure it out for the first few trips...
