This is topical for me since I came back from a two week vacation from Tenerife.

While there I tried to find Masca's Solar Station, an artifact created by the indigenous people of the island. They say it was probably to ask the sun god for help in times of drought.

Is it inside the (stunning) Barranco de Masca? I loved it

No it's on a mountain ridge on Pico Yeje, the trail begins from the Mirador de cruz Hilda nearby.

I went there twice to find it, looking for something on a vertical rock. I found out later that it's actually carved into some rock on the ground.
