Abstract: A device for melting snow and/or ice on a surface is provided. The device includes a heat coil that is adapted to allow a fluid to pass therethrough, a pump and a solar power source. The heat coil has an upper portion positioned at first distance from surface, and a lower portion that is positioned at a second distance from surface and underneath the ground. The pump coupled between the solar power source and the heat coil. The solar power source provides energy to the pump to move the fluid between the lower and upper portions of the heat coil. The fluid gains heat from the ground as it moves through the lower portion of the heat coil and uses that heat to raise the temperature of the surface to melt snow and/or ice that comes into contact therewith.
