Soothes sun experts (7)

I believe the answer is:

solaces

'soothes' is the definition.
('solace' can be a synonym of 'soothe')

'sun experts' is the wordplay.
'sun' becomes 'sol' (I've seen this before).
'experts' becomes 'aces' (ace is a kind of expert).
'sol'+'aces'='SOLACES'

(Another definition for solaces that I've seen is " Comforts".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
