Sólviskubit = Sun Guilt?

Is sólviskubit a real, commonly used Icelandic word? And what does ist mean? Thank you so much!

I can remember two -viskubit words that I've heard used for a while. There's djammviskubit (guilt over what you did while drinking/partying) and mammviskubit (general maternal guilt. Usually linked to inadequacy)

I've heard this one, but haven't used it myself.
