Wiktionary seems to support the other person's position, while respecting your view too

I have a feeling that the people who wrote the Wiktionary entry for it are people like the guy I was arguing with. The usage notes seem to mostly be correct, but differentiating between capitalization and lower-case still doesn't make it right to use the term for other systems. The word is still based on the name Sol, so "solar" and "Solar" still refer to our star. Personally, I would capitalize "Solar system," but I wouldn't bother capitalizing "solar panel" simply because it's not a proper noun.
