Creating new theorem-like environments is simple:
just add something like <new-theorem|solution|Solution>
or <new-remark|solution|Solution> or <new-exercise|solution|Solution>
to your preamble, depending on the kind of layout you wish to have.

Yet another trick is to use the render-theorem environment
(type \ render-theorem RETURN): this environment renders
as a theorem, but allows you to manually specify the "Theorem" text.
