20120211004 | SOLAR TURF DEVICES SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A device, system, and method for harvesting solar energy from an artificial turf field or other area exposed to sunlight. An array of solar collectors may be placed in a sports stadium or other open field, each solar collector having an artificial turf structure including simulated grass and an open support structure capable of supporting human foot traffic, the artificial turf structure overlying a resilient bed supporting photovoltaic panels. Light falling on the structure at incident angles of 30 degrees from the artificial turf surface normal may be transmitted from the open support structure to the photovoltaic panels, and the panels may convert the transmitted light to electricity. The photovoltaic panels may be oriented to maximize an amount of captured light responsively to latitude. The turf structure support members may be angled responsively to an average direction of the sun at an installation latitude. | 08-23-2012 |
