Acurex Corporation has a Cooperative Agreement with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to design, build and test a 15-meter diameter Innovative Point Focus Solar Concentrator. This report presents the results of the Phase I prototype reflective panel optical test. The approach selected for this test was a quick, simple, and relatively inexpensive evaluation of the first outer reflective panel produced. This approach represented a tradeoff between extent of results and test costs. The test measured the focal quality of the panel, and this result was then related to the focal quality of the complete dish assembly.
