We can certainly see the effects of solar storms on Saturn - Saturn has aurorae (Northern lights) like the Earth, and these happen when Saturn's magnetic field gets disturbed by a solar storm. I believe that Uranus and Neptune also have some aurorae, but not Pluto as it does not have much of a magnetic field. So the influence of solar storms stretches way beyond the Earth!
