FACILITIES

CyI has developed and continues to develop impressive by regional, and in certain cases by international, standards facilities and laboratories needed to pursue research in the field of Solar Energy Technologies (STE) and polygeneration research that is internationally competitive. These include the unique PROTEAS experimental Facility and its satellite labs (the TESLAB on Thermal Energy Storage, the Athalassa Heliostat Testing facility and the Steam Generation and the MED Desalinated Water Lab), but also the Linear Fresnel Facility in the main Athalassa Campus, as well as labs on Future Buildings’ Technologies and the Environmental Sensing Lab used for and by the SBE Group.
