What They Say
"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."
"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."
"Throughout the process, Lytefire proved itself as an innovative, resourceful, and thoughtful partner in Uganda. They offer an impressive product, and back it with in-depth knowledge and supportive staff. The Lytefire units have a triple impact of fighting climate change, enhancing food security, and supporting rural entrepreneurship. This technology has great potential to help the world. I am pleased to recommend Lytefire."

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
