Both Solaris and FreeBSD share a common idea base. The BSD distribution from Berkeley was the starting point for FreeBSD and for SunOS, which is the earlier version of Solaris.
As it stands, FreeBSD was developed primarily for the Intel-based chip, whereas Solaris runs primarily on the SPARC chip developed by Sun Microsystems (now part of Oracle).
Lastly, Solaris is a proprietary, cost-based version of Unix, whereas FreeBSD is an open-source version.
