Solar in Malayalam
Malayalam has no free-standing adjective for solar; the idea arrives inside compounds built on the Sanskrit word for sun. The commonest of them is സൂര്യഗ്രഹണം (sooryagrahanam), a solar eclipse, and സൗരയൂഥം (sourayootham) is the solar system. Both are schoolbook words that any Malayali reader will recognise.
Solar eclipse.
നാളെ സൂര്യഗ്രഹണം ഉണ്ടെന്ന് വാർത്തയിൽ കണ്ടു.
naale sooryagrahanam undennu vaarththayil kandu.
The news said there is a solar eclipse tomorrow.
All Malayalam words for “solar”

- ഗ്രഹണം (grahanam) — Grasping, swallowing, covering up, comprehension, power of comprehension, eclipse (solar or lunar).
- സൗരയൂഥം (sourayootham) — The solar system.
So treat this as a compound page: ഗ്രഹണം (grahanam) is the general word for an eclipse, solar or lunar, and there is no single word to place before a noun the way English places solar.
