Cool Earth Solar (www.coolearthsolar.com), developer and owner of high concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) power plants announced today that it formally filed several solar technology patents. These patents secure Cool Earth Solar’s unique intellectual property advantage in driving towards the lowest installed cost for solar energy.

Eric Cummings, Founder and CTO of Cool Earth Solar, noted, “The filing of this intellectual property is a milestone in the development and protection of Cool Earth Solar’s radical approach to solar concentrating technology. We believe this technology makes deployment of solar power economically viable as a utility scale application.”

The Utility Patents are a continuation of the Initial Patents filed last year. Patents were simultaneously filed in the United States and internationally. Cool Earth has secured its strong intellectual property and continues to process further intellectual property as the technology progresses.
