We design and build precision solar systems — and the instruments to measure them.

From concentrating optics and solar furnaces to field-deployable PV monitoring and custom fabricated instrumentation, we work at the intersection of applied research and hands-on engineering.

01 — Concentrating Solar

Solar Furnaces & Optical Systems

We design and build concentrating solar systems using Fresnel lenses and reflective optics for high-temperature applications — from materials processing to research-grade thermal testing. This work is the technical foundation of the SHINE initiative.

02 — PV Monitoring

PV-Scope Monitoring System

Our PV-Scope platform gives educators and researchers a cost-effective, deployable tool for real-time photovoltaic performance monitoring and data logging. Three units are currently in active use at Texas A&M University.

03 — Custom Instrumentation

Fabrication & Measurement Tools

We build complete instruments — microprocessor-based data acquisition, custom 3D printed enclosures, laser cut components, and precision fiber optic mounts. We take a concept from circuit to finished, field-ready hardware.

A small technical team doing serious solar work

Sunstrike Optics is an independent research and engineering company. We work on concentrating solar systems, portable photovoltaic setups, and the instrumentation needed to measure and validate both — at scales that universities, community organizations, and research teams can actually use.

We make small quantities of custom-designed equipment available for purchase, and we're open to research partnerships with educators, institutions, and organizations aligned with what we're building.

SHINE Initiative

Solar Harvesting Innovations for New Ecosystems

SHINE is a collaborative initiative, supported by Sunstrike Optics, focused on concentrating solar furnaces for high-temperature processing and fabrication. We're building open research, community involvement, and accessible technology around the enormous potential of concentrated sunlight.
