Light on the Earth:
The Solar Option
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the kind of information needed to assist 10 million U.S. households and small businesses to install solar energy systems in the next ten years.
By means of our book, “Light on the Earth: The Solar Option” and our companion web site www.LightOnTheEarth.org we will provide the necessary factual information that will allow homeowners and small businesses to install affordable, maintainable, long-lasting solar installations that require no technical expertise to utilize and no compromise in standard of living.
We will empower the population with knowledge that will prevent them from being victimized by unscrupulous or inexperienced installers and contractors while at the same time identifying and warning of scams that are multiplying in the renewable energy arena.
Our book will provide the home-owner with the most current information we can assemble at the time of printing with updates on our companion web site as they become available.
We want www.LightOnTheEarth.org to become the dependable, one-stop source of reliable, helpful information to allow people to make wise decisions in making the transition to a clean, solar energy future.
We are not installers or contractors and are only researchers, teachers and providers of information. Therefore, our interest to provide you with the best information-product available is perfectly aligned with your interest in getting that information.
We are offering a printed book for sale through Amazon.com, as it is often easier to read a book than to sit for hours in front of a computer. This full color publication was a major expense and we plan to use the derived income to support a developing and ongoing service to educate the public about how to successfully integrate solar energy systems into the household or small business. The modest cost of the book can be quickly recouped by use of the information within it.
For those who purchase the book and wish to save on its ultimate cost, we will accept the return of any book in unblemished condition accompanied by its purchase receipt and will return 1/3 of the purchase price. We will then pass these copies along to schools and libraries in order to spread the message as widely as possible.
