    What they say

    Joan Arwa Ogwang

    Baker & Trainer, Solar Fire Bakery, Kenya

    "When the sun rises early morning and the sky is blue, I am sure it’s a good baking day with the sun rays. Since our bakery demand rose from the 10kg per day to not less than 40 kg a day it’s impressive to see how well the lytefire can handle such a big batch of production. And it’s so good to see myself and other bakers I work with put in a full tray of ready to be baked products as they are taking out the fully baked tray of solar goodies."

    Installation and Maintenance:

    • Lytefire is easy to install. And we are here to guide step by step.
    • Requires a sunny flat space of at least 7 meters of diameter in which to operate with no shade
    • Easy to clean: only water and soap to clean the mirrors
    • When used and maintained properly, the Lytefire PRO has a lifetime expectation of 16 years

    Baking:

    • Using bread tins/pans improves the efficiency of baking as compared to regular bread baking. This is because the surface of the bread tin will transmit the heat quicker to the bread, and with the tins a lot more dough can be fit into the same oven as opposed placing bread loafs without tins. That being said, bread loafs are also very well baked in the solar oven but in smaller quantities.
    • It is possible to add a base (sole) by placing it on the original grids. But by adding weight, the oven will no longer take 45min-1h to heat up but a little longer.

    Technical Specifications:

    • Uses only direct concentrated sun ray, no fuel costs, no electricity
    • Produces 3500 Watts of thermal energy
    • Reaches up to 300°C / 572°F
    • Even heat distribution for high quality baking when using tins.
    • No automated tracking: you need to slightly turn the Lytefire Pro every 10 mins to follow the sun
    • Width: 1.82m, length: 5.2m, height: 1.71m.
    • The combined surface of all mirrors is 5 square meters

    Weather:

    • Diffuse radiation do not work and in cloudy weather, there is no direct radiation.
    • The mirrors array should be dismantled and/or stored indoor in case of heavy storm / hail storm.

    Security:

    • As for any stove or fire, you do not leave the device unattended.
    • When you are done setting up your Lytefire, we recommend you perform the burning stick test for your family and peers so everybody can actually see the actual power of your solar concentrator
    • Wearing sunglasses while cooking is recommended
    • After usage, always turn down all mirrors to completely turn off the concentration.
