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."

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
