I worked on Solaris when the PPC work was done. Solaris 2.5.1 was the release that included PPC support.
Here is a link to the Solaris 2.5.1 release notes, which describe some Solaris on PPC details - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19695-01/802-5366/802-5366.pdf

I was looking up some data, and as a result was flipping through a copy of Computerworld from ’93. In doing so, I was marveling at the amount of Diversity we had in the Computer World at the time, but that’s not the point. The point is that I found a advertisement for the PPC 601 chip. In it they were advertising it running the Macintosh OS, OS/2, AIX, and interestingly Sun Solaris. I was aware of the first three, but I don’t ever remember any mention of Solaris running on PPC. Did that ever get off the ground? Zane
