The bulk of the technical effort was devoted to the evaluation of a residential solar heating and cooling system utilizing an array of evacuated tube solar collectors. In May 1978, the evacuated tube collectors were removed and replaced with a state-of-the-art liquid-heating flat-plate solar collector array. First, the installation, performance, and operating experience of the Owens-Illinois (O-I) evacuated tube solar collector integrated with the CSU Solar House III residential sized solar heating and cooling system is dealt with. The second section discusses four months of installation, operation, and evaluation of the Chamberlain flat-plate collectors installed on CSU Solar House III.
