Now that 1.3 is here, you can trigger the Solar Eclipse at will, like most other events.
After you have gotten access to the temple inside the jungle, you can farm solar shards to create solar tables. Use eight shards on a Mythril/Orichalcum anvil to craft a tablet; the shards drop randomly from the temple enemies.
You can use the Tablet on daytime to trigger a Solar Eclipse. That should let you farm the event much more frequently.

No, there is no way to improve the chance to get a solar eclipse. The 1 in 25 chance is fixed and can't be changed. You just need to be lucky.How do you increase the chance of a Solar Eclipse in Terraria?
A Solar Tablet is a Hardmode consumable item used to summon a Solar Eclipse. It may only be used during the day, causing the eclipse to begin immediately, regardless of the time. The eclipse lasts only for the current day. Solar Tablets can be found in Lihzahrd Chests in the Jungle Temple.Is there a way to summon a Solar Eclipse in Terraria?
If the player is lucky enough to have one from a previous Solar Eclipse or from the current one, the Death Sickle is very effective against Mothron, constantly hitting it and keeping it at bay for a precious few seconds. Mothron is most vulnerable when it is laying its eggs.Terraria 1.3 Easy Solar Eclipse AFK Farm | 1.3 events
