I wonder why do the solar power cells look uneven-coloured?

What do you mean by "uneven-coloured"? It's a monochrome image. Do you mean that they aren't a uniform intensity? Could be dust, could just be seeing reflections from the surface.

Can't be reflection from Sun, it's to the right of the scene (see shadows)

It could be from the Sun (because the crystalline nature of the solar cells can result in something other than a purely specular reflection). Or from the sky itself.
