Could you discuss this? They seem synonymous in your first sentence. (I understand that there can be Solar pantheons not led by Yelm, but then you would have written "Solar" doesn't mean "Yelmic.") And Yelm has always seemed Solar to me. Yelm's pantheon is Solar in that in includes a preponderance of celestial deities, and it's Yelmic because Yelm is in charge.
