If there is only one guitarist usually the bassist fills in all the holes and keeps the groove going..

Hi Niels.
I guess you don't have keyboard or another guitar player in your band. U2's Edge has pretty unique approach to the playing and specially to solos. He uses a lot of delay and fast rhythm patterns in most of his playing just to cover those gaps and make more sound. So if you play U2 song it's most likely that whole sound will "drop" a bit once you start playing regular guitar solo, single notes. You could try something just like Edge does, apply more rhythmic into your solo, maybe even more delay for "sequencer type" effect. And one more thing, rhythm section (bass and drums) might also try to support you more when you do soloing, they can use different groove with more punch compared to rest of the song. Those are some ideas I can think of atm

As said above just ask your bassist to fill the holes.

In absence of second guitar in a band , solo spots are usually filled by the bass player and if its available keyboards...Bass player should play "fuller and more complex" groove that feels a lot of space..Also drummer can make its line stronger...

I addition to the advices from everybody, try making more noise by playing several notes at a time during a solo, using different intervals or possibly bass notes to support to melody. Bass and drummer have an important role here as well, their sound should be fuller if possible, and this needs to be rehearsed.

Listen to the drums - if you focus on drums even without Bass , Guitar and Keyboards you will know your way around because drums are center of everything else in music!
