The sun is at infinity in the north west of our two dimensional model and each node/cell may or may not be lit depending on whether it stands in the shadow cast by another node/cell to its left. We study the number of lit nodes in an integer composition of <i>n</i> and later we modify this to yield the number of lit square cells. We then count the number of columns being lit which leads naturally to those cases where only the first column is lit. We prove the theorem that the generating function for the latter is the same as the generating function for compositions in which the first part is strictly smallest.
