If it is staying at parking more than one week, battery drains. I used solar power during parking to charge the battery, but it did not help.

Hello,
Sounds like the vehicle has excessive parasitic draw (current drain) on the battery.
Every electrical circuit with a battery will have some amount of parasitic draw, however it can become excessive due to any number of faulty components. Like a glove box light staying on or a shorted window switch etc.
In order to find the culprit, you will have to use a multimeter and check the current drain on the battery as you remove different fuses/relays.
Take a look at this video, it shows exactly what to do to find the draw:

Thank you.
