A valve assembly comprises two valves and a single solenoid actuator with only one magnetizing coil that controls both valves. The corresponding magnetic circuit comprises a yoke with only two pole pieces. The valves are arranged concentric to one another. The valve closing element of the outer valve is connected to an armature by means of a sleeve. The cup thus formed receives the armature that is connected to the valve closing element of the inner valve. The pole piece and the armature form a transmission air gap through which the sleeve extends. A coupling air gap is formed between the armatures. The armature and the pole piece form a working air gap. The valves are opened collectively and are able to close independently of one another when the coil is rendered currentless.

A modular, solar energy system comprising one or more modular solar panels. The solar panels include a plurality of photovoltaic cells that are exposed to the radiant energy from the sun to create electrical power and are in heat transfer relationship with a water manifold through which water flows to remove heat from the PV cell as well as heat from the radiant energy. The heated water for the water manifold is used for heat / hot water and electricity system that can be configured using provided software and that can provide for any or all of the offerings (heat / hot water / electricity). The water manifold is constructed of a special high conductivity composite material that can be selected in accordance with the heat conductivity and customized for a particular installation. The system eliminates the use of copper and / or aluminum tubing, thereby reducing the cost and complexity of the system.

A floating breakwater system comprises a plurality of modules that are flexibly affixed together. The modules are affixed together to make up a plurality of vertical panels made up of the modules and the vertical panels themselves are flexibly affixed together in generally parallel relationship. Each individual module has a front face that faces the oncoming wave. There are at least two inlets in the front surface and corresponding outlets in the rear surface and passageways between the inlets and the outlets such that the water propelled by the wave passes through the at least two passageways. Each passageway is tapered inwardly in the direction of the flow of the water and each passageway has a main longitudinal axis. The respective axes are angled inwardly toward each other and converge at a point displaced rearwardly from the outlets so that the water that passes through the passageways intersect at the point and the energy of the wave is dissipated.
