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.

<p><strong>How Does It Work?</strong> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
