Abstract
Abstract
This study describes the development of a solar dryer system by using the hybrid photovoltaic solar dryer. The study also compares the conventional solar dryer collector system and the solar dryer hybrid system. Measurements under the same conditions of temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and moisture ratio were performed for both systems. The results showed that drying by using the hybrid solar dryer collector system is 10 % faster than by using conventional solar dryer system. The result of current study is beneficial to increase the drying performance of the solar dryer on the future.
