In 1970, Solt began working at David L. Wolper's production company. He worked with the National Geographic Society on their various other network specials; while there, he began a longer-term collaboration with the award-winning producer. Wolper executive-produced two of Solt's documentaries, This is Elvis (1981) and Imagine: John Lennon (1988). Solt speaking at the memorial service for Wolper, who died 10 August 2010, described the many producers who cut their teeth there as having attended "Wolper U".
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Solt worked on television projects with Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the pioneer underwater explorer. He wrote and produced Oasis in Space (1976–77), a six-part half-hour series executive produced by Cousteau and his son Philippe. Solt received the first of nine Emmy nominations for the show's "Calypso's Search for Atlantis" episode. He also produced Cousteau Odyssey (1977–78), four one-hour specials about deep-sea explorations shot in the waters off Greece; and The Mississippi—Reluctant Ally (1984). The two-hour documentary about the US's longest river won the 1985 Emmy for Outstanding Informational Special. The award was shared by Solt, Cousteau and his son, Jean-Michel Cousteau.
In 1979, Solt teamed with producer/director Malcolm Leo on Heroes of Rock and Roll. One of the first comprehensive documentaries to be made about rock music, the two-hour television special was broadcast on ABC. Time magazine music critic Jay Cocks called the show "a first-rate primer of rock history" and said the producers had paid "particular attention to getting the roots—in country and rhythm and blues—right." Solt and Leo also produced the 1982 film It Came from Hollywood, a compilation of over 100 "Golden Turkey" movies, featuring Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Cheech and Chong.
Solt again examined rock and roll in 1995 as executive producer of Time-Life's The History of Rock and Roll. The series, divided into 10 one-hour episodes for home video, was also syndicated and later shown on PBS and cable. It chronologically documents rock music from its roots in the early 1950s to Nirvana and U2 in the 1990s. Other music-themed Solt productions include 25×5: the Continuing Adventures of the Rolling Stones (1989) and Elvis: The Great Performances (1989).
