First of its kind in Latin America, this experimental project located in Canóvanas, Puerto Rico, was financed by the U.S. Energy Office.  It consisted of the installation of 7,150 sq. ft. of evacuated tube solar collectors providing 60 tons of air conditioning for an 11,000 sq. ft. industrial plant.  Insulated chilled water storage tanks provides for water needs for night and cloudy day operation.  Sophisticated controls and instrumentation systems provided for performance monitoring and energy saving evaluation.  It was built in 1979 as a test pilot facility for the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company.
