        abstract = {Solar dryer is a very simple form of the sun energy dryer in which there are 2 boxes. All those vegetables that perish quickly or the ones whose prices are low if cleaned, washed, and cut properly, and spread across and sun-dried, then for 1 year at room temperature, these products remain preserved in a really good condition. This dryer is extremely small that is 1 by 1 foot in size and weighing 6 kg. This Model make help to farmers by using on their farm itself. For which there would be zero requirements of any additional moving components like photo voltage, panels, or batteries. In the topmost plastic layer, there is a particular technology that we have used such that the ultraviolet rays carried by the sunrays get blocked and hence do not reach the food products. Thus 70-80% of nutrition is retained in the product. In addition to that, I am going to connect this solar dryer to a smart phone using IoT. It enables us to desktop the tempe according to the vegetable's type
The project is intended develop smart solar dryer using Arduino for drying of agricultural products. The system uses solar energy as a primary source of energy, which makes the economic aspect viable as well as environmental-friendly. Drying is automated using an Arduino and given controlled optimum conditions for continuous drying. The temperature and humidity sensors monitor and control drying to ensure excellent drying quality of the products. This also implemented a fan, LED lights, and a relay module, which accompany the entire system for efficient and effective drying. All the research findings show that the smart solar dryer using Arduino proves to be an effective, efficient solution for drying agricultural products in high-standard dry forms with reduced labor and increased productivity. This is in comparison to the traditional methods of drying of many products.},
