To the best of my knowledge it just works with the system clock from  
the BIOS.  So you could rewrite the BIOS, or you could write a LKM to  
mangle the system clock to coincide with solar time.

Alternatively you could find a NTP server that does synchronize to  
solar time, and use that to sync to precise solar time every time you  
boot, and even write a cron job to force a NTP update every hour or so  
if having the precise solar time is so important to you.
