[RE-wrenches] Subterranean solar panels

[Antony Tersol]

Not sure if this should be in markets or wrenches.  I'm guessing they don't
have a physicist on staff.  My first impression is that this is a hoax.
Does Photon do any due diligence?

Subterranean solar panels  *EarthSure Continues National Expansion with
Subterranean Solar Panel System*   10.09.2009: EarthSure, a renewable energy
company and innovator in alternative energy sources announced today the
company’s latest patent-pending renewable energy invention. Subterranean
Solar, or SubSolar™, is a unique and innovative system of utilizing
‘subterranean solar panels” to gather solar power. No unsightly above ground
solar panels need to be used anymore. This is an enhancement not only in
economics and in the green movement, but a great technological improvement
in the area of design and construction as well. Currently, solar panels are
secured on rooftops or other open spaces. Depending upon the size of the
solar module system, this can require large areas of space, and more times
than not, this intrudes upon space that can be utilized more efficiently and
effectively. In addition, many homeowner associations throughout the United
States have banned roof top installations. In light of this, SubSolar panels
are installed underneath the ground, virtually invisible to the naked eye. …

*How Does It Work?*

A compact optical device is installed upon a rooftop or other
sunlight-catching environment. This optical device captures and magnifies
the sun’s rays and transfers the sunlight from its linear or cylindrical
lenses though fiber-optic lines leading down into an underground storage of
solar panel modules. The subterranean solar panels are buried approx 3-4
feet underground and are encased in cylindrical tubes or in a
semi-hermetically sealed box (or boxes made out of PVC that are in a vacuum
chamber atmosphere) which will utilize the ultimate light absorption in the
box light vacuum chamber that encapsulates the solar panel modules.

Other than the compact optical device, the solar system is practically
invisible. This system keeps unsightly panels and fixtures from effecting
the aesthetics of homes and commercial or industrial buildings. Always out
of sight, but never out of free energy potential!

Another benefit of utilizing SubSolar™ underground solar panels is that it
keeps the equipment out of the elements, elements which can damage the
panels and decrease the life span of the equipment. Underground chambers
will always stay clean and pristine to aid in better electrical output and
eradicate poor performance associated with contaminated modules, making them
virtually maintenance free. Also, being under the earth’s surface, the solar
modules naturally remain cooler, which in turn makes them more productive,
preventing overheating for more consistent electrical output.
