Underground solar energy storage via energy piles

If the total solar energy storage rate is divided by the pile length, however, the shorter energy piles are superior over the longer energy piles (see Fig. 15 (d)). The maximum daily average rate of solar energy storage decreases from as high as 150 W/m for the case with L = 10 m to about 35 W/m as the pile length increases to 50 m.
