He has won eight Emmys, three Peabodys, and a Loeb award and, improbably, a James Beard award (though not for any cuisine art). Solman also taught at the Harvard Business School from 1985 to 1987. He joined the PBS NewsHour, then known as The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, in 1985. From 2007 to 2016, he was a faculty member at Yale University's International Security Studies program, teaching in its "Grand Strategy" course.

Solman co-produced, with Bob Burns, and presented a series of companion videos to McGraw-Hill economics textbooks.In 1983, he co-authored, with longtime PBS executive and writer Thomas Friedman, a better-than-average-seller, Life and Death on the Corporate Battlefield (1983), which appeared in Japanese, German and a pirated Taiwanese edition. In 1994, with sociologist Morrie Schwartz, he helped create—and wrote the introduction to—the book Morrie: In His Own Words, which preceded Tuesdays with Morrie but failed to outsell it by several orders of magnitude.His latest book, a collaboration with economist Laurence Kotlikoff and author Philip Moeller, is a bonafide bestseller, Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security (Simon and Schuster, 2015). The book was reissued in May 2016 due to changes in Social Security regulations. In 2018, he created, with his former Yale student David McCullough and longtime Harvard professor Robert Glauber, former Republican Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, "The American Exchange Project" The American Exchange Project is a nonpolitical nonprofit social innovation initiative which recruits high school seniors from everywhere in the country and gets them to both host seniors from elsewhere in their own community for a week in the summer after graduation and sends them to a community very different from their own for a week, all for free. Solman is president of the board and an active recruiter of communities in every nook and cranny of America.ities in every nook and cranny of America.
