    what do you mean by solar industries? do you want to say solar power plants?

    Yes, sorry for the typo writing. Does any solar power plant using any lubricant oil?
    What type of equipment or machine that they using to produce solar power in their plant?

    solar power plants are either solar thermal or photovoltaic based. photovoltaic solar power plants do not require anything but large area, photovoltaic cells, inverters, transformers, transmission lines and electric panels.

    there is least use of lubricating oil as per my understanding in this case.

    Solar thermal power plants utilize the sun's energy to produce steam and once the steam is generated it acts like a conventional thermal power plant.

    So, what type of lubricant oil was used?
    Example like hydraulic oil, gear oil or any maintenance oil used??

    solar radiation is used to heat the water and convert it to steam, and this steam is used to run a steam turbine.

    well the lubricant oil used in this turbine is the same as that used in the steam turbine used in thermal power plants.(even though i don't know what that is , must be some SAE grade oil).
