  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents an renewable energy sources of solar powered crop dryer which consists of a small fan, tunnel dryer and solar air heater to dry crops like fruits, vegetables, medical plants etc. These systems generates hot air to the atmosphere and dry the crops which is displayed on LCD display with the help of ATMEGA-328 microcontroller. Now-a day’s renewable energy sources like solar are getting productive. The solar dryer was successfully tested in Greece, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia drying grapes, dates, onions, peppers and several medicinal plants. Compared to traditional sun drying methods, the use of the solar dryer reduces drying time significantly and prevents mass losses.
