What Solar Stik does

Solar Stik, Inc., founded in 2005 and headquartered in Saint Augustine, Florida, designs and manufactures modular, portable hybrid power systems engineered for the 1 kW to 10 kW+ load spectrum. The product architecture is organized into four functional layers: complete Systems (Small ≤3 kW, Medium 3-10 kW, Large >10 kW), Power Generation (7 kW and 13 kW diesel generators with Remote-start Enabling Kits; foldable Solar Fold, Solar Venture, and Solar Liberty panels from 120 W to 660 W), Energy Storage (LiFePO4 lithium modules up to 2.1 kWh and lead-acid AGM modules), and Power Management devices (the proprietary PRO-Verter inverter/charger family, the HyPR Hybrid Power Router family, Power Hub DC collection units, DCPD distribution boxes, and a TCP/IP Remote Monitoring Kit). All components use a Plug & Play open-architecture design with MIL-STD-810G ruggedization, enabling daisy-chained configuration of mixed sources including solar, wind, fuel cells, generators, and utility input.

The business is a privately held, founder-led hardware manufacturer serving six primary verticals: Military and Defense (the largest, including U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force, U.S. Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office, U.S. Army PM EO/IR-FP, Afghan National Army, and the 2023 Ukrainian military contract of 300 systems via Noble Supply & Logistics), Government and Civil (federal, state, and local emergency management — e.g., Florida State Emergency Operations Command), Commercial and Industrial (remote monitoring and communications), Marine, Recreational, and Residential. The company operates an enterprise field-sales model complemented by a channel partnership with Noble Supply & Logistics for government and military supply contracts; pricing is quote-based on configured systems rather than published price lists, with multi-year contract cadence. Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales of systems and components, with no software, subscription, or service-stream disclosed.

Solar Stik is led by co-founders Brian Bosley (CEO and technical founder) and Stephanie D. Hollis, M.D. (President and CEO since 2022, after nearly 20 years with the company). The organization grew from a five-person founding team to 50+ members by 2023 and operates from a consolidated "House of Stik" campus completed in 2021. Hold ISO 9001 (Intertek) and WOSB certifications that materially shape federal procurement access. The company has no disclosed outside equity capital, no subsidiaries, and no public-market listing.

Core offering

Solar Stik designs and manufactures portable hybrid power systems integrating energy storage (LiFePO4 lithium and lead-acid batteries), power generation (foldable solar panels and diesel generators), and power management devices (PRO-Verter and HyPR inverter/charger families) for the 1 kW to 10 kW+ power spectrum. The company's modular, open-architecture Plug & Play systems are built to MIL-STD-810G standards and are configured to customer requirements for military, government, commercial, marine, recreational, and residential applications.

Product overview

Solar Stik offers a modular, open-architecture portable hybrid power system designed for the 1 kW to 10 kW+ power spectrum. The system is organized into four main product lines: complete hybrid power Systems (Small, Medium, and Large categorized by load capacity), Power Generation components (fuel-driven generators ranging from 7kW to 13kW with Remote-start Enabling Kits, and foldable solar panels from 120W to 660W including Solar Fold, Solar Venture, and Solar Liberty series), Energy Storage modules (LiFePO4 lithium batteries and lead-acid AGM options ranging from 0.45 kWh to 2.1 kWh), and Power Management devices (PRO-Verter and HyPR families of inverter/chargers, Power Hub DC collection units, DCPD distribution boxes, and Remote Monitoring Kit). Additionally, the company offers integrated Balance of System (BOS) units combining storage and power management in single-case solutions. All components feature Plug & Play connections for easy system configuration, daisy-chaining for scalability, and open architecture design supporting hybrid operation with multiple power sources including solar, wind, fuel cells, generators, and utility power.
