You can't, the Quarry is part of Buildcraft and the power it needs is MJ, solar panels output EU as they're from industrial craft.
You can't convert MJ to EU any more in Tekkit, so your stuck using the basic steam pumps or something similar to power your quarries.
Wow that's crummy...
At first I was like, hm, energy links are out, but then I noticed this:

Using these you can convert IC2 power (EUs like those produced by solar panels) to Buildcraft power (MJs like those produced by engines).
I would have responded sooner but I'm unfamiliar with Tekkit Lite as that is the most recent version of the modpack, as far as I know. In older versions you could use the energy link block but that seems to be out now.
