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. … Source: EarthSure

from the website:</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<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>
