Thoughts on this little guy? It’s a B&T so it has to be good right??
I am drawn to it because it is super light at 3.5 oz most others are at least 6.
Looking for a light weight suppressor to be dedicated to a little backpack 22.

I’ll be watching this for sure. Thinking handy squirrel rifle and range use.

First I have no experience on this specific suppressor. But unlike all B&T firearms which are all over the top excellent, I have found their suppressors sometimes have tradeoffs you'd rather not have. I don't have this one, but I do have lots of the 9mm ones.
So... on this one my major issue would be what its made out of and how do you clean it. Its a given on rimfire cans you have to clean them. I hate al in that regard. There simply isn't a good way. period. I have another rimfire al cored suppressor and I hate it. just suck it up and get something with SS baffles. My favorite is currently the DA mask, but the rugged is fine and for light weight I have the surefire. I promise the difference between 5 and 3.5 oz won't mean diddly after you have to struggle to clean it.
In any case not answering your question directly sorry.

Shouldn’t just putting some solvent in the suppressor shaking it up for a bit and letting it soak then blow it out after use work pretty well?
Or dropping it in an ultrasonic cleaner?

Rimfire is really dirty. A lot of carbon and lead deposits. Went to the range Wed nite--shot around 500-600 rounds of 22.
Ruger MK 4 had a thin coating of lead where the suppressor made contact with the barrel. Same thing on the S&W Victory.
Both bolts had a thick layer of carbon in spots--receivers were gummed up with carbon covering 1 " from feed ramp. The Victory was getting some feeding problems towards the end of the session. Took some effort to clean the receivers--Bore Tech Rimfire cleaner and elbow grease.

I haven't cleaned the suppressors yet. I expect Baffle #1 will be caked in carbon and lead. I will soak the baffles in Carbon Killer, then an ultrasonic bath of Bore Tech Extreme Clean. After that--a tumble with SS pins in a Harbor Freight tumbler. Pre treat with Silicon Oil to make clean up easier.
I think the best analogy would be spark plugs after 100,000 miles--no solvent will cut that crude off. You need metal that will stand up to high heat and combustion of aerolisized carbon/lead.

I have never found a product that works immedately like that.
Most are in the soak for a long long time and then add a little elbow work. repeat as necessary.
And al in ultrasonic is a potential problem that needs way too much work to manage and has had a number of bad outcomes for many.
With SS baffles its easy toss them in whatever method you like and don't worry. (I use ultrasonic).

The Silencer Central SoLo is 1" x 6" long and listed at 2.7 oz. It's self service as well.

I was researching and almost went for an Energetic Armament NYX but my local dealer gave me a deal on a mask and with all the good reviews and comments on it I chose to go that way. The EA NYX is all Ti so very light and user serviceable. If I go for another 22 cal, I am still tempted to go with the NYX.

Stainless is absolutely where it's at on .22 cans. Sparrow, Mask, Oculus, and a couple others. I have an older AAC with stainless baffles. The baffles go into the ultrasonic for a few cycles and I chip large pieces of carbon off with a screwdriver, knife, or dental tools.

How's titanium in the ultrasonic cleaner? I ask because I have the Chaos Gear Hydra Aluminum can and it's 3.5 oz and very enjoyable. It's completely servicable, but they also make one in titanium.

It's twice as heavy at 6.4 oz but will also handle 5.7x28.
