The solar panel is part of the circuit that charges the batteries. So, the two wires that attach to the board are used to test both the solar panel and the functionality of the module itself. So to recap:
1. Solder a new wire to the board.
2. Attach a meter (reading DC voltage) to the two wires. Hold the module up to a light source. It should read ~3.0v.
3. Remove the meter and attach a 3.0v power source to the two wires. Check the functionality of the board.
