No, the compound noun 'solar system' is a singular, common noun, a word for a star (sun) and the bodies within its gravitational field.

A collective noun is a word used to group people or things taken together as one whole in a descriptive way. A collective noun is an informal part of speech. There are hundreds of standard collective nouns, but any noun that suits the situation can be used, for example the simple a solar system of planets, or a more fanciful, a solar system of groupies.
