Our Values

Energy is everywhere around us. And we all need it daily for a wide range of actions.

At Lytefire, we have created different ways for you to get clean and powerful solar heat with a tech made for entrepreneurs, farmers, schools and communities. Our core values values are Sustainability, Empowerment, Courage and Authenticity.

Sustainability

When it comes to heat production at a small scale, no electricity production and no pollution is required. This is what Lytefire gives you: free and clean solar heat for your business in food transformation (see Users), for your school canteen, your farm and your village.

At Lytefire, we believe that the best CO2 is the one that is not emitted. That is why each Lytefire oven installed and used is much more than an oven and has a big impact. It can protect 60㎡ of forests and avoid 5 tons of carbon emissions every year.

No need to wait for the next huge clean energy plan, nor the next crisis. You can start now and adapt courageously to a changing world with more autonomy. Lytefire being easy to maintain and using no high-tech, you are in control of your heat production, and you do not need to plan for recycling of polluting components such as batteries.

Empowerment

How can we ensure our basic needs in such a changing world? Energy is one of them and it’s crucial to train the next generations to new techniques and new sustainable jobs. That is why we have created training.

The training are for schools, TVET and NGI’s but in general our approach with empowerment is to include everyone from the DIYer ready to build in their backyard, to the NGO empowering women and refugees, to the artisans running bakeries, to the vocational schools training the next generation, to the women’s cooperative taking a micro-loan, to the producers making Lytefire. Everyone needs to be empowered. Everyone needs to be involved in the energy transition to scale up and reshape a more fair and equitable world.

Courage

It takes courage to be a pioneer and to be first to try something new. We are well aware of that and we are supporting you all the way to install your Lytefire, and of course through a training.

In different countries and with very different contexts, many users have already chosen Lytefire as a solution to power their local activity and break free. Be one of them and join our community of pioneers and entrepreneurs everywhere in the world! People like you and like us- who have decided to not use charcoal, open fires, or electricity every time the sun shines above their heads. People willing to contribute to a livable future locally everywhere!

Authenticity

No matter the hard times and the difficulty of our model, we never changed our core values and we stayed true to ourselves. With each client no matter big or small, our approach is simple, clear and based on trust.

We believe in simple, local and efficient technologies that support life to reinforce the local economy everywhere and make it as much as possible powered by clean energy. It will require us to reorganize a few things in the economy, in the work organization, yes. But isn’t it better to act and adjust now rather than suffer later?

Small is beautiful and we know that people can bring changes! And we also believe that the most vulnerable populations (low income, women’s cooperatives, farmers, countryside schools, refugees camps) are part of the change.
