A sustainable activity: solar baking
Baking with the sun allow to produce tasty breads and pastries with direct solar heat. No electricity, no pollution, no harming dark particles and lots of satisfaction!
Wherever a Lytefire Oven is installed in a sunny country, the energy bills, pollution, deforestation expenses can be significantly reduced for most of the year. On top of this impact, the bread production capacity is real: from 10 kg to 50 kg per day. Bake delicious pizza, biscuits, buns, cookies, cakes, croissants, and breads.
In many countries bread is on so many tables every day. Bread is such a powerful symbol of conviviality and sharing. Depending on the local flours, the market, the baker’s productivity, the recipes can be adapted.
We offer a comprehensive training to support vulnerable people in the creation of their own solar bakery in order to create more local wealth and stability.
Many solar bakeries in Europe and Africa are already using Lytefire and they learn how to adapt their production to a clean, intermittent energy source. Check the FAQ if you have more questions. Or contact us now to discuss your project!
Associations, NGO’s and Government Agencies can include this approach to their livelihood programs. Check the Projects page to see the previous projects with NGOs.
We can’t wait to see how we can contribute to a better world together!

Give someone a Lytefire and there is free energy to bake
for the rest of their lives.“

“The Lytefire5 Oven is giving us 275 KSh (€2,70) per day, but with the charcoal oven it’s only 75 KSh (€0,70). That’s a big difference.” -
