The team managed just seven wins in the 2012-2013 season but have already matched that feat this year, with the possibility to add to that tally with four games remaining.
Their next game involves a trip to Italy on Saturday to face bottom side Zebre, and with Edinburgh currently occupying seventh spot - ten points behind Scarlets and a European spot for next year -Solomons insists his side are looking up rather than down.
"We've had a much-improved season, I think the side has progressed well," he said.
"We have to see the season in context, I only arrived two weeks prior to the start of the competitive season.
"I took no part in the recruitment of players or retention of players, or pre-season conditioning.
"We said at the beginning we wanted to earn the respect of, particularly our opponents, and of the rugby public. And I think we've done that.
"The feedback I have had from players and coaches in our opposition teams is that they have seen the progress we've made."
