The results of the third phase of the Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino measurement are presented and compared to the first and second phase results. With improved detector calibrations, a full detector simulation, and improved analysis methods, the systematic uncertainty on the total neutrino flux is estimated to be +/- 2.1%, which is about two thirds of the systematic uncertainty for the first phase of Super-Kamiokande. The observed B-8 solar flux in the 5.0 to 20 MeV total electron energy region is 2.32 +/- 0.04(stat) +/- 0.05(sys) x 10(6) cm(-2) sec(-1) under the assumption of pure electron-flavor content, in agreement with previous measurements. A combined oscillation analysis is carried out using SK-I, II, and III data, and the results are also combined with the results of other solar neutrino experiments. The best-fit oscillation parameters are obtained to be sin(2)theta(12) = 0.30(-0.01)(+/- 0.02)(tan(2)theta(12) = 0.42(-0.02)(+0.04)) and Delta m(21)(2) = 6.2(-1.9)(+1.1) x 10(-5) eV(2). Combined with KamLAND results, the best-fit oscillation parameters are found to be sin(2)theta(12) = 0.31 +/- 0.01(tan(2)theta(12 =) 0.44 +/- 0: 03) and Delta m(21)(2) = 7.6 +/- 0.2 x 10(-5) eV(2). The B-8 neutrino flux obtained from global solar neutrino experiments is 5.3 +/- 0.2(stat + sys) x 10(6) cm(-2) s(-1), while the B-8 flux becomes 5.1 +/- 0.1(stat + sys) x 10(6) cm(-2) s(-1) by adding KamLAND results. In a three-flavor analysis combining all solar neutrino experiments, the upper limit of sin(2)theta(13) is 0.060 at 95% C.L.. After combination with KamLAND results, the upper limit of sin(2)theta(13) is found to be 0.059 at 95% C.L.
