It was a very Kerbal landing technique they were attempting, got to respect them for attempting new things even when it's their first try at a lander.
Last I heard, speculation was that the solar panels were pointing to the west and so it might "wake up" again later in the Lunar day when the Sun gets past zenith. They landed in Lunar morning to maximize the usable duration of sunlight, so right now the panels would be pointed directly away from it.
