    Technical Specifications:

    • Uses only direct concentrated sun ray, no fuel costs
    • Produces 3500 Watts of thermal energy
    • Reaches up to 350°C / 662°F (the oven is hot at 240°C after 45min-1 hour)
    • Even heat distribution for high quality baking
    • Immune to blackouts and brownouts
    • No fuel costs (requires sunlight, but that’s free)
    • No automated tracking: you need to slightly turn the Lytefire 5 every 10 mins to follow the sun
    • Contains 5 square meters of mirrors
    • 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. Clean the oven as normal.
    • If properly built and painted, the Lytefire 5 will last about 16 years
    • The materials are regular steel, bolts, and mirrors, and they can be found almost everywhere. The price can vary from one retailer to the other so take your time to compare.
    • With good conditions, it takes up to 10 days to build your Lytefire 5 and it’s oven.

    Security:

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

    Baking:

    • The baking happens exactly as on any oven :)
    • On the side of the oven, a lever allows you to change the inclination of all the mirrors at once to increase or decrease the heat.
    • Solar cooking doesn’t change the food’s taste
    • Bake 50 kg to 110 kg of fresh bread every day
    • Up to 500 buns or cookies
    • Pizzas, pies, cakes, quiches
    • Brioches, croissants, all kind of delicious "viennoiseries"
    • Can also be used as a regular cooking oven

    Weather:

    • You need a clear blue sky for the Lytefire to work. If can be a fresh spring day, a hot summer morning or a sunny winter afternoon.
    • The mirrors array should be dismantled and/or stored indoor in case of heavy storm / hail storm. For more about the weather, see FAQ.

    Testimonials

    Your design is easy to understand and straight-forward to build. We achieved the advertised temperatures in the first try with none of the complications experienced by other students that used a different solar concentrator design.

    Bilal Gondal, Engineering Undergraduate, Pakistan

    These tools are quick to build and effective for the job. As indicated by the Lytfire team it really did take us 2 hours to calibrate the mirrors.

    Kurt Baumann, Building Teacher, Switzerland

    I’m especially excited about this technology because it can be built locally, so it will not be limited by the harsh import duties imposed on us

    Moutasem Hassan, builder and entrepreneur, Palestine

    "Instead of buying charcoal, we use the sun", great to see such a simple solution with so many applications - including commercial food production - in so many places (many in Africa, but also the video features Switzerland and Finland).

    J. Turner
