It's probably an important distinction that most people will do both to varying degrees.
There will be times when someone wants to run out to harvest resources, and isn't going to wait for a group to form up. Are they "solo" ? They are for the purposes of harvesting.
The will be other times ( Like defending a Tower - hopefully in a couple of weeks ) where it ( likely ) would be madness to try to perform solo.
Group mechanics for harvesting would probably come into play if someone hit a "gusher". Thats a particular mechanic of interest. GW has said that once you make a harvesting camp you start whats essentially a mini escalation. How's that planned to take place step by step? Would a solo harvester have time to group chat back to his settlement and call for re-enforcements before laying down the harvesting camp? Is there a danger of the node despawning before a camp can be setup?
At a minimum there needs to be some level of balance that lets players roam the map individually and harvest single resource nodes , I would think.
