In one sense all the planets are solar satellites, that is, they orbit the sun, just as the moon is Earth's satellite. So Mars, Venus, Earth and all the planets are solar satellites.

In another sense a solar satellite could be any of Earth's artificial satellites, because most of them use solar panels to generate the electricity they need to keep sending data back to Earth.
