Roaming true solo is incredibly difficult. I think solo as stated by others is: alone, no other characters or fleet mates with you. This is uncommon.
I used to use a Cynabal as my go-to solo ship as it was fast, quick to warp, good at getting out of bad situations (MWD/AB allow you to kite back to gates under somewhat heavy camp) and had a flight of EC-300 drones to jam out targets. I've personally had a couple hundred kills in Cynabals, and lost just over 30 in the course of acquiring those: http://www.rotekapelle.com/killboard/?a=pilot_detail&plt_ext_id=781584111&view=ships_weapons
If you're looking to solo yourself, and learn how to handle it there's a lot to know. I'll try to start some quick points below, but let me know if you want me to go on, and I'll try to elaborate as much as I can if you're interested.
Ships: I'd recommend starting with something very simple. Frigates (t1 or t2) are always a great starting point. You have strength in your small size, signature and speed. Use this with orbit command to help stay under your opponents guns and reduce their ability to track you. The small size also allows you to travel great distances relatively quickly, to find and qualify your fight. As a newbie to solo pvp I would recommend looking into using - Atron (blaster gank) - Kestrel (TD/AB/LML kite) - Rifter (autocannon, afterburner, scrambler, tracking disruptor)
Tips:
* Not every fight is your fight, be careful about picking your engagements; ** are they alone? ** can your ship out-dps, out-kite, out-ewar, or out-tank their ship long enough for you to win? *** If it seems close, it's probably worth going for it, and being aggressive. This can be very fun and lead to some surprising results.
* What is your exit strategy? ** are you fighting on a gate? can you tank them for 60s if things go bad and jump away? ** are you able to out-run them and warp to safety?
* can you afford to lose your ship? ** if the answer is no, get something cheaper
* why would they want to fight you? ** if you can win a fight, it's likely you won't be attacked by the target. How can you entice them to fight you? Make yourself look vulnerable, etc.?
