There is not a lot of information printed about this lander, but I bet they are using a Radioisotope Heater Unit (RHU) for heat and generate a little electricity with a thermocouple. Both lander and rover use photovoltaics for power. The RHU is a lot smaller than an RTG and we (USA) have used them on many Mars and outer planet missions for thermal management.
I could be wrong, I wish there were more pictures of the lander, to see if has the heat dissipating fins of an RTG.

I am interested in one of their micro-satellites that is observing the MF and HF radio bands.
