Through Astrotech Solar and other affiliates, the company is also active in renewable energy commercialization. This segment concentrates on high-efficiency photovoltaic materials and manufacturing processes originally developed in partnership with academic and federal laboratories. By licensing proprietary cell architectures and overseeing pilot-scale production, Astrotech aims to reduce costs and accelerate adoption of clean-energy solutions in global markets.

Founded in 1984 as AIT International, Astrotech has evolved via strategic acquisitions and spin-offs to maintain a diversified technology portfolio.
