Solar drying technology of agri-produce enhance reduction of post-harvest losses in most developing countries. Therefore, solar dryers reduce moisture contents to a level that prevents deterioration within a period of time regarded as the safe storage period. The main aim of this study is to review the efficiency of solar dryer compared to open sun drying.
It is found that the efficiency of the solar dryer and drying rate mainly depend upon temperature and size of the solar dryer with blower., geographical location and season when the agri produce is dried, type of product, initial moisture content, total mass of the product loaded on the trays.
