The system use the refrigeration cycle principle working in reverse by the refrigerant absolving heat from sun panels and the refrigerant cooling from earth buried heat exchanger (liquidification). Under the refrigeration cycle principals the temperature difference is converted in pressure difference,
This self contained highway lighting apparatus consists of a base made in the same cross sectional dimensions of existing "K" rails that divided the Highways. This base will have a hole that accepts the drop in style of this lighting unit.
