The usefulness of a collector array is to be extended to year-round usage by using the collectors to reject heat at night during the summer. A water source heat pump is used to cool a home by rejecting heat to water which is then held in a storage tank. At night the warm water is pumped through the collectors for radiative cooling. Two complete systems are being installed to demonstrate feasibility. One part of the system has been completed and tested. (LEW)
