| A Solar-Powered Water System installed in Blanket, Haiti, January 2011. |
Almost 2 billion people on this earth have no grid power and probably never will. It costs more to deliver electric power than it does to build the power generating plant. Most of these people could not afford to tap into this grid system even if it were available. The sun's delivery system is free!
Thus, Solar Under the Sun formed in 2009 to meet a specific need. Our sister organization, Living Waters for the World, worked with the leadership of the Synod of the Sun, a regional governing body in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) They thought a new ministry of solar power systems to pair with their water treatment systems would be a natural partnership. The Synod leadership jumped at the chance and came together to start Solar Under the Sun. As a result, in May of 2010 our first Solar under the Sun training class began.
This blog will feature stories of mission teams in the field as they install a solar power systems and stories from our Solar School, which trains the volunteers for field work. We hope to inspire you to become a part of our mission and send a team to receive the knowledge to provide solar power to the world. For a sneak preview, read these stories from Herndon United Methodist Church and their installation trip to Blanket, Haiti in January 2011. (Click here to view.)
Join us on this journey as we bring LIGHT to the world!
