ABSTRACT:
In 1993, the mirror facets of one of Sandia’s point-focusing solar collectors, the Test Bed Concentrator #2 (TBC-2), were reconditioned. The concentrator’s optical performance was evaluated before and after this operation. This report summarizes and compares the results of these tests.

The tests demonstrated that the concentrator’s total power and peak flux were increased while the overall flux distribution in the focal plane remained qualitatively the same.
