Abstract: In one aspect, the invention is directed to a solar energy water heating system for heating water in a water storage tank. In one particular embodiment, the system includes a controller, a solar energy collector whose energy contribution to water in the tank is controlled by the controller, and a non-solar heating system that is not controlled by the controller. Water in the tank may be heated by one or both of the non-solar heating system and energy from the solar energy collector. The controller can determine the amount of energy contributed by solar energy to the water in the tank. In another embodiment, the solar energy water heating system incorporates a controller that controls both the operation of the pump and the operation of the non-solar heating system. In another embodiment, a network of solar energy water heating systems is provided.

Abstract: A system and a method for controlling twinned heating appliances are described. The system includes a first heating appliance and a second heating appliance. The first heating appliance includes a first blower and a first wireless communication unit. Further, the second heating appliance is operatively coupled with the first heating appliance as a twinned unit. The second heating appliance includes a second blower and a second wireless communication unit. The system also includes a primary control unit configured to receive speed data indicative of a speed of the first blower and speed data indicative of a speed of the second blower. The primary control unit is further configured to output a blower speed control signal to at least one of the first blower and the second blower to synchronize the first blower and the second blower.
