The Sun is usually called the Sun and the Solar System is usually called the Solar System. However, since the Sun is sometimes referred to as "Sol", I suppose it would be possible to refer to the "Sol System" just as the planets in orbit around Alpha Centauri would be called the "Alpha Centauri System".
