(1) Eight single-family-sized solar domestic water heaters and a conventional elecric water heater have been installed in Alabama Solar Energy Center's Test Facility for the purpose of acquiring comparative performance and operational data under identical operational and climatic conditions. The systems employ three examples of freeze protection typically encountered in the Tennessee Valley, (e.g. oil, antifreeze, and drainback).
