I just started getting into solar as well and have found the online manual (
http://solarphp.com/manual) particularly the getting started section.

As to "actions", they're a method that is executed by your controller and
are based on the url.  For example, if you have a url for your web app that
is /tags/list/, you'll have a class named Vendor_App_Tags with a method
named actionList. The actionList method does whatever it needs to generate
the output, which will be passed to a view file named list.php in the
directory Vendor/App/Tags/View.  The generated output will be included
within the layout you specify.

I hope that helps (and that its correct...)
