With Solarstart, Muriel wants to make young and old aware of the incredible potential of solar thermal energy in baking and cooking in Switzerland. The association first used an experimental Lytefire with a wooden structure and in 2024 they got a Lytefire DIY oven from France. Muriel organizes events to raise awareness about solar baking. She’d like to lend her Lytefire so that entrepreneurs in Switzerland can also test sun-baked bread and roasted nuts!

Plant, harvest and cook food while learning about sustainability and green jobs - that’s what happens at GrowNYC’s Teaching Garden where one of our Lytefire solar concentrators is regularly used by students since our first cooperation back in 2015. During 2 years, every week, students from around NYC take field trips to the Teaching Garden and are blown away by the power of the sun when they prepare off-grid meals.
