Progress is reported on a project to study and construct a prototype bread box type solar water heater with movable insulation integral to a Trombe-Meinel cusp reflector. Performance tests were carried out to determine the all day heat gain, instantaneous efficiency at various tank temperatures, and heat loss coefficient of the cusp in the closed position. The same tank was tested with a black paint coating and then with a selective black coating of adhesive foil of etched nickel. (LEW)
