Sometimes there can be more solar eclipses or more lunar eclipses in a given year, but they're pretty even on average.

Why is solar eclipse fairly uncommon phenomenon?
Rather than being uncommon, solar eclipses are routine; there are generally two per year, sometimes more. However, the area on the Earth affected by a solar eclipse is quite tiny; normally a stripe a hundred miles wide and a few thousand miles long. Given that the Earth's surface is three-quarters water, many eclipses are not visible from land at all. So from a given point on the Earth's surface, there may be many years - indeed, centuries - between eclipses. This is in contrast to lunar eclipses, which happen with the same regularity as solar eclipses. However, a lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night hemisphere of the Earth.
