Answer:
Soli Deo gloria is Latin for "Glory to God alone."

Solus is one of a small number of Latin adjectives in -us, -a, -um that decline like pronouns and form their genitive singular in -ius and dative in -i, instead of the usual genitive -i, -ae, -i and dative -o, -ae, -o. Thus the correct form to agree with dative Deo is soli, not solo as given in the question.
