Solar Manifestations
Source Player Core pg. 140
Your deep understanding of the stellar forces of the universe manifests in a variety of tangible ways. You can create and maintain three different manifestations: a solar flare, solar nimbus, and solar weapon. Your manifestations temporarily vanish if you become unattuned. Paizo Clarifications
Three manifestations is not a hard limit. You can manifest each of your solar manifestations, not just a solar flare, solar nimbus, and solar weapon.
When dropped a solar weapon becomes part of your solar mote and must be manifested by using the Attune action when you want to use it again.
Solar Flare
Source Player Core pg. 140
A small mote of solar power hovers nearby or appears embedded on some part of your body, such as the palm of your hand or on your face. This mote can unleash a directed blast of energy at short range. Your solar flare is a martial ranged weapon in the brawling weapon group with the attuned and solarian traits. It doesn't take up a hand and doesn't need to be held to be wielded. Your solar flare can't be targeted by other creatures or removed from your person, except for when you become unattuned. Your attunement determines the damage type and range increment of your solar flare. You add your Strength modifier to damage rolls with your solar flare. You can improve the damage of your solar flare with solarian crystals
Graviton-Attuned
1d8 bludgeoning, range increment 15 feet. On a critical success, you can attempt to Trip the target as a free action, ignoring range and multiple attack penalty, even if you don't have a free hand or aren't adjacent to the target.
Photon-Attuned
1d6 fire, range increment 30 feet. On a critical success, the target additionally takes 1d6 persistent fire damage.
Solar Nimbus
Source Player Core pg. 140
A layer of stellar energy surrounds you, overlaying your body or worn armor. It appears as a layer of glowing light or solid darkness, depending on your current state of attunement. The general appearance and shape of the nimbus is your choice and could appear as a lattice of energy surrounding you or imposing spiked energy armor layered atop your existing equipment. This design has no impact on its function and doesn't provide any additional bonuses.
You gain the Nimbus Surge reaction.

Nimbus Surge [reaction]
Source Player Core pg. 141
Trigger A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it’s using.
Your nimbus surges with energy, forcing an opening in your foe's defenses. Make a melee Strike against the triggering creature. This Strike doesn't count toward your multiple attack penalty, and your multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
Graviton-Attuned If the Strike is a critical success, the target must succeed at a Fortitude save against your class DC or become enfeebled 1 until the end of its turn.
Photon-Attuned If the Strike is a critical success, the target must succeed at a Fortitude save against your class DC or become clumsy 1 until the start of its turn.

Solar Weapon
Source Player Core pg. 141
Through sheer will, you call forth a tangible weapon forged from the essence of stars. This weapon is an extension of yourself, and you can change its form with meditation. When manifesting your weapon, it appears in a free hand of your choice. If it has the free-hand trait, it can manifest in any hand. Your solar weapon is a martial melee weapon. It deals 1d8 of your choice of bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage with the attuned and solarian traits.
At first level, choose up to two of the following traits for your weapon. Alternatively, you can select the reach or two-hand 1d10 trait for your weapon instead of selecting two of the following traits. You can select one of the following weapon groups for your weapon to be a part of. Your solar weapon gains additional benefits based on your current attunement.

Graviton-Attuned
When you successfully Strike a creature using your solar weapon, that creature's space and all squares adjacent to it are difficult terrain for that creature until the end of its next turn.
Photon-Attuned
When you successfully Strike a creature with your solar weapon, you deal an additional amount of fire damage equal to half your level (rounded up). Your solar weapon casts bright light in a 5-foot radius (and dim light for the next 5 feet).
Re-Forge Solar Weapon
Source Player Core pg. 141
You spend 10 minutes focusing on the composition of your solar weapon. You can change your solar weapon’s damage type (typically choosing between bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing), selected traits, and weapon group. Your weapon maintains your selections until the next time you Re-Forge Solar Weapon.
