The best approximation of the age of the solar system would be the oldest rocks on the moon. While the age of the universe provides a broader context, the oldest rocks on the moon have been dated to about 4.4 billion years, which gives a more specific estimate of the age of the solar system itself, as both the Earth and the moon formed around the same time.
