It's called, "The Solar System" for obvious reasons.
It's heliocentric, which means that it's centered on our star, 'Sol', or, the Sun.
Get it?

We're not very creative when naming things that are our own. Our star is the Sun, sometimes called Sol. Our planet is simply another name for dirt, but capitalized, or Earth. Our solar system is just that, the solar system. Other places get cool names like Mars, Jupiter, Cygnus, Antares, etc.

It is called "the solar system." No scientist refers to the solar system or the the Sun as "Sol"...that's something you only see in science fiction stories.

It is "the solar system." If you are referring to the galaxy in which the solar system resides, it is known as the Milky Way Galaxy.
Anyway, the answer to your specific question is, "The Solar System." By the way, it does not get capitalized in writings about the system.

Sol or just The Solar System. but Sol is correct becaue it is named after the star of which the planets orbit.

It's called the 'Sol' system after our Sun, which is Sol.
