When I first heard about Lytefire, 7 years ago, I knew: This is the solution!
Years before that, I had been interested in Climate Activism. I protested against new power plants and joined Climate Strikes. I discussed how to change the current economic system with whomever was available.
One day, I met Urs Riggenbach in a mutual project. He showed me the website of the company he co-founded with Eva Wissenz and others: Lytefire, a Solar Technology, heating up with nothing more than mirrors. So powerful it can be used for a small bakery, artisans and communities. I was in awe!
Lytefire was not only a solution to minimise the usage of charcoal, gas and wood for cooking. No, it also offered a different ecological way of business: The entrepreneurs using Lytefire are completely independent from the energy prices and the solution is so simple and yet so efficient.
For me it was clear: This technology is the future!
About a year later I was able to join the company myself.
And now?
Now the DIY plans are on sale with our current crowdfunding and you can build one yourself.
What will you create with it?
