One of the downsides to soloing without rhythm guitarist or bass player is that there's nothing to really hold down the harmonic progression of the song. If you go for a solo and the drummer is just holding down the dominant beat of the song it tends to sound really monotonous and very, "let's take a break while I satisfy my own musical self-indulgence with a guitar solo". A backing chord progression, or at least a bass player holding down the root makes it sound like the song is actually going somewhere, However, if the drummer switches up the beat for the solo, or your orchestrate some carefully placed fills to coincide with some of the peaks of the solo, it will sound more involved and purposeful.
