A hierarchy of simplified Hartree-Fock (HF), density functional theory (DFT) methods, and their combinations has been recently proposed for the fast electronic structure computation of large systems. The covered methods are a minimal basis set Hartree-Fock (HF-3c), a small basis set global hybrid functional (PBEh-3c), and its screened exchange variant (HSE-3c), all augmented with semiclassical correction potentials. Here, we extend their applicability to inorganic covalent and ionic solids as well as layered materials. The new methods have been dubbed HFsol-3c, PBEsol0-3c, and HSEsol-3c, respectively, to indicate their parent functional as well as the correction potentials. They have been implemented in the CRYSTAL code to enable routine application for molecular as well as solid materials. We validate the new methods on diverse sets of solid state benchmarks that cover more than 90 solids ranging from covalent, ionic, semi-ionic, layered, and molecular crystals. While we focus on structural and energetic properties, we also test bandgaps, vibrational frequencies, elastic constants, and dielectric and piezoelectric tensors. HSEsol-3c appears to be most promising with mean absolute error for cohesive energies and unit cell volumes of molecular crystals of 1.5 kcal/mol and 2.8%, respectively. Lattice parameters of inorganic solids deviate by 3% from the references, and vibrational frequencies of alpha-quartz have standard deviations of 10 cm(-1). Overall, this shows an accuracy competitive to converged basis set dispersion corrected DFT with a substantial increase in computational efficiency.
