FiguRE 1. Rational for the defnition of the APOLLON objectives.
Please see the introduction for a detailed explanation

Project focalised just on two groups of
systems: (Multi-approach)
– Point focus (PF) lens based
– Mirror based

Integrated approach to face all the critical
Factors that have aspects related to each concentrating system
hindered a large
SRA 2008 commercialization component
2013 + SRA of CPV
2011-2016 CPV system target cost of 2 €/W.
Photovoltaic Round-Robin testing, accelerated testing
Technology on receivers, set up of new module
Research APOLLON Project objectives
Advisory Council characterization methodologies to increase
report, edited reliability and implement standardization
in 2005 Addres the development to assure high
throughput module assembly techniques,
evaluate environmental impact, involve
END USER for the exploitation phase of the
technology
