Lytefire
Power the future we want
We are a unique impact company dedicated to the energy transition
Lytefire is a solar oven, a solar roaster and a community cooker.
It is big because it is meant for productive use of energy. Lytefire is clean, powerful and robust.
Since 2012, we support local resilience in East Africa. With NGO’s, schools and associations, we also organize training around Lytefire, to build it or to start micro-businesses.
