Hope this helps. : )

A: Solely usually means "as a single person"; without the help of anyone else and implies exclusivity. (think únicamente)

"Only" is restricted to the identified members, which could be more than one. Such as being the single one or the relatively few of the kind (think solamente)

A: I think they are the same. Solely means without anything involved, right? While only means alone in a category.

For example.

If I use solely, it looks like this:

I don't write solely for your attention.

That's only possible if you have the knowledge about the previous lesson.

A: Alone is like 혼자, 홀로. It’s usually used regarding a person, but it can be used with other things.
“He was alone.”
“That alone was the answer.”

When it’s used like that, it’s very similar to “solely” and “only”. “Only” is more casual and not as strong! It can mean “just” 그냥 as well as ~만.
“I only have you.”

“Solely” is really strong. It emphasizes that that thing is the ONLY thing.
“He was the sole heir.”

It sounds a little more formal as well.

A: Exclusively means that it is available for only a certain time/person/group/etc. but it doesn't always mean it's available for only one time/person/group/etc.

Solely does mean that it is for a singular thing.

Exclusive = limited, select few
Sole = only you, just the one
