"Could it be used to blow the dust off the solar panels on the other Mars rovers?"

I suppose, although you might not want to risk flying close to a disabled rover. Oh, and even if we cleaned the solar panels, the batteries may be shot by now.

"Assuming they are nearby, that is."

They are not.

Curiosity and Perseverance are about 2300 km away from each other, for instance. It looks like the others are even further away.
