Yes. The Solar System is a proper noun. If you are using "Solar System" in reference to any other system that is not the Sun (which is incorrect as it would be a star system *lowercase, not proper noun*) then you would use it lower case. This parallels the capitalization of Sun. There is only one Sun, it is the name of the star which Earth orbits. This is Joanneat. I don't think solar system is capitalized because my mom and dad said so, I read it in books with it not capitialized, and National Geographic doesn't capitalize it. National Geographic is a worldwide magazine, so if they didn't capitalize solar system, then they made a typo over many of their pages. My uncle is a language arts teacher, and he agrees with me.
