'solo one takes up' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'credit getting oil converted into power' is the wordplay.
'credit' becomes 'cr' (abbreviation).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'converted' is an anagram indicator.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'power' becomes 'might' (synonyms).
'oil' with letters rearranged gives 'oli'.
'cr'+'oli'='croli'
'croli' going within 'might' is 'MICROLIGHT'.

'this' is the link.
