    A hypersurface \(\mathcal{M}\) in a general ambient space is said to be a soliton to the mean curvature flow if there exists a one-parameter group \(G=\{\varphi_t\,|\, t \in \mathbb{R}\}\) of isometries of the ambient space such that the evolution by mean curvature flow of \(\mathcal{M}\) is given by the family of hypersurfaces \(\mathcal{M}_y=\varphi_t(\mathcal{M})\). If the ambient space is a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant metric and \(G\) consists of left translations, then \(\mathcal{M}\) is called a translator. The author classifies all translators to the mean curvature flow in the three-dimensional solvable Lie group \(\mathrm{Sol}_3\) that are invariant under the action of a one-parameter group of isometries of the ambient space (Theorem 1). In particular, it is shown that \(\mathrm{Sol}_3\) admits graphical translators defined on a half-plane. It should be noted that the latter is impossible for translators in the Euclidean space due results by \textit{L. Shahriyari} [Geom. Dedicata 175, 57--64 (2015; Zbl 1315.53076)]. The author also obtains some results for a more general kind of invariance (Theorem 2) and for the more rigid case (Theorem 3).
