HST operations are controlled by the Space Telescope Science Institute on the Johns Hopkins campus in Columbia, MD. Observation time is requested and approved by STSI, and is given primarily to scientists who belong to the countries involved in HST's funding and construction.
Small amounts of time (donated by the STSI Director as part of his own discretionary use) has been allocated for amateur astronomers as well, though they still must present a proposal for consideration/scheduling like everyone else.

It's possible to rent time of hubble telescope?
Not rent per se, but civilians can request and be granted observation time, though it's very limited. Most HST observation time is granted in advance to Astrophysics and Astronomy teams based on submitted proposals, as well as their association with countries that helped build and maintain HST. However, the Space Telescope Science Institute (the unit that controls HST and its observations here in Maryland at Johns Hopkins) Director has 10% of "Director's Discretionary (DD) allocation time" for HST observations. The Director on occasion does grant use to civilians, though they must go through the same submission procedure as any scientist would, and any submission must clearly justify use of HST. Using it to observe women on the beach in Maui is not considered justifiable use. Besides, that's what submarine periscopes are for. You can read more about it at the link below.
Why did the Hubble Telescope need an extra solar panel?
HST didn't get extra panels; the original arrays were replaced during HST Servicing Mission 2 in 1997, due to extreme warping of the arrays caused by thermal changes in space as HST moved through the Earth's terminator (the point in orbit where night becomes day, and day becomes night) every 97 minutes. The replacement arrays were themselves replaced on one of the last 2 servicing missions, to ensure power for as long as possible until HST is brought down in the next few years.
What country invented Hubble Space Telescope?
The HST was designed (= invented) and built by companies in the USA.
Who could use Hubble telescope?
Though most HST observation time requests are from academics and other professional institutions, the HST director does occasionally offer "Director's time" for HST observation use by the public. Requests for use are highly screened regardless of the source, and must be relevant to HST's mission, as well as the exploration of space itself.
