My Solar Sojourn
Spencer Myers is not just an author he is a pioneer in sustainable living. His groundbreaking work A Solar Sojourn, marked a significant milestone in 1979 when he became the first person in the U.S. to install 400 square feet of solar panels on a multi-family residence listed on the National Register of Historic Places. His passion for renewable energy has continued over decades. In 2022, he completed his fifth home retrofit, installing 39 solar panels on a 1950s home in Lake Worth Beach, Florida. Myers has adapted solar energy for homes across diverse climates in Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida—sometimes just to heat water or even to warm a house using a greenhouse connected to his kitchen. His Boynton Beach residence, built in 1978, features a full suite of energy-saving measures, including added attic insulation, a hybrid water heater, energy-efficient windows, a variable-speed pool pump, and a 240-volt electric car charger, all complementing his rooftop solar system.
Driven by a lifelong respect for nature, Myers' writing reflects his environmental values. Through thrilling novels like the Dr. Derk Bryan series, he tackles issues like global warming, pollution, and corporate greed. Myers hopes his stories inspire action and spark a commitment to preserving the planet for future generations.
“Everyone has the right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and eat fresh vegetables, and I want people to get educated about this and make it a priority.”
