It depends on the context. The main distinction is that solution has more than one meaning:
An answer to the problem (fully worked out), but alsoThe process of finding such an answer (i.e. a synonym for solving)Something dissolved in something else (say, sugar dissolved in water)
With the first meaning, use to:
I have found a solution to your problem.
With the second, use of:
The solution of those problems took me a long time.
The solution of difficult problems is very satisfying.
Note that choice of to versus of can change the meaning:
The solution to that problem will take you an hour. [Finding the solution took a year, but carrying it out takes an hour.]
The solution of that problem will take you an hour. [It will take an hour to solve it.]
When talking about something dissolved in something else (usually in chemistry), use of:
This drink is basically a solution of sugar in water.
