Shamsi is a solar oven designed to bake traditional sun-leavened bread. It upholds regional baking traditions, while making clean energy accessible in rural areas. Replacing the habit of burning mixed-wastes to fuel traditional ovens, Shamsi significantly reduces CO2 emissions. Households are at lower risk of diseases caused by smoke and fire. Shamsi is technology-free out of local materials, allowing local production with gender-equal work opportunities in the community.
