I’d start by following the evap lines and looking for leaks or kinks. If it was the solenoid, it should be a different code… but you never know. If you had a scan tool, you could activate the solenoid and see if it relieves pressure.

a P0440 means there is an evap leak… .loose gas cap, leaking line, ect… this is not a visiable leak, its more of a vapor leak. Now also has a P0441 for purge valve flow, i would be looking to see if your purge valve is opening and closing.  
the purge valve should be up on or near the the engine. a vent valve will be more near the gas tank. hope this helps.
