The solar heating system reported is designed to provide space heating and water heating for a South Carolina office suite. The system consists of an array of water-based flat plate collectors, a storage tank, an auxiliary heat pump and electric resistance heater, and auxiliary electric water heater. Freeze protection is provided by drain-down. The system and its operation are briefly described, and its thermal performance is analyzed using a system energy balance technique. (LEW)
