The Perl-Mack Enterprises, Inc. site is a single-family dwelling whose solar heating system is designed to provide approximately 68% of the annual space heating and hot water requirements. The system consists of an array of flat plate collectors using a water-propylene glycol solution, a concrete water storage tank, and an auxiliary gas burner. The system is described, and its performance is analyzed using a system energy balance technique. (LEW)
