What They Say

Joan Arwa Ogwang
Joan Arwa Ogwang, Kenya
Solar Fire Bakery Founder
Entrepreneur

"When the sun rises and the sky is blue, I am sure it’s a good baking day. Our demand rose to 40kg a day and it’s impressive to see how well the Lytefire can handle this. It’s a joy for me and my bakers to bake tray after tray with solar."

Prudence Vasta, Uganda
Prudence Vasta, Uganda
Chief Baker at BPJ Nebbi Smart Up Solar Bakery and Farmer
Started in 2022 with one Lytefire oven after a training

"Receiving the Lytefire Solar oven has improved our lives. We are glad to testify the beauty in using solar energy because it’s cheap, user friendly and we no longer spend money on electricity or charcoal."

Richard Loyen, France
Richard Loyen, France
Executive Director of ENERPLAN
Solar energy expert

"The global energy crisis caused by the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz is disrupting the International Energy Agency (IEA )’s plan to promote LPG for ‘clean’ cooking in Africa. This fossil gas has become too expensive for many people. There isn’t enough electricity on the continent to use electric ovens for professional cooking. So the Lytefire is now more relevant than ever as a solution to a major problem: cooking every day without burning fuel, at an affordable cost."

Christina Nyback
Christina Nyback, Finland
International Programme Director at World Vision Finland
Oversees our projects with World Vision in East Africa

"Such a great example of sustainable innovation supporting local entrepreneurship, livelihoods, and school meals. Thank you for the inspiring initiative and for the important collaboration, Lytefire!"

Can you see how simple and powerful this is? About the tech →

 

Human scale

“ With this solar fire, no need for electricity and no need to burn anything anymore. The mirrors concentrate the sunlight directly. Oh and if you are wondering why there are no PV, no batteries, no rare earth metals, it is because in many places simplicity is the best approach to support people locally.” — Eva and Urs, co-founders Lytefire

Dear solar friends,

When despair knocks at the door, we choose action. ☀️

Since our start we want to make clean energy accessible and practical for all, everywhere, regardless of geography or income level.

We are launching today a campaign to create the Full Lytefire Package with you. ☀️

This package is everything we have been patiently building for 14 years.

The goal? Spread Lytefire knowledge and inspiration everywhere the sun shines.

We're live on ULULE!

Watch the video, all the info is here: https://ulule.com/lytefire

To make it happen, we need to update all our construction guides, interview solar artisans to capture their experience, create a new "solarpreneur" guide, develop a wooden version and spread all our education material.
A dozen artisans from France to Africa are making a living with their Lytefire. They are pioneers. They are building a new local and regenerative economy. These courageous people must be known and their experience must be shared widely to give courage to others.

☀️ For a few days, with the Early Bird reward you can pre-order your access to this Full Package at a discounted price ☀️

It is in our DNA to adopt a community-driven approach and to work closely with local entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions.

☀️ Be among the first to support this project with the early bird reward or a simple donation ☀️
Check it out here: https://ulule.com/lytefire

If you can support this campaign we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you can share it around you, same.

Thank you so much 💗

Eva & Urs

Le soleil comme seul outil. La détermination comme seul moteur.

Céline Puech avait installé son four solaire seule et c’est exactement pour ça qu’on voulait vous la présenter. Elle s’en est servi pour créer des granola et des barres de céréales torréfiées avec juste la lumière du soleil.

Cuisiner. S’équiper. S’affranchir. Avec un Lytefire et l’énergie du soleil, les artisanes solaires n’ont besoin de rien d’autre.
