South Africa with SunFire

In South Africa with Sun Fire Solutions (2015)

The country is known for its solar plants and is a big player in the solar market. Micro-CSP, however, isn’t very present and there is a lot of opportunity to provide people with an efficient and elegant solution for their thermal needs.

Founder and CEO of a solar solutions company in RSA for the past 12 years, Crosby Menzies of SunFire Solutions ltd has been convinced by our tech since he first learned about us. Over the past 2 years, we have build a trustful dialogue and SunFire Solutions is a strong supporter of our #FreeTheSun campaign.
Together in Johannesburg Lorin built a slightly improved version of the Lytefire 4 solar concentrator we built in Haiti to start a bakery, and we have presented widely it and got to know the potential local users more closely.
The next step of this project is to equip schools with solar concentrators for to feed their students more cheaply and more sustainably.
