Other information on our product.

The solar dryer is a relatively simple concept. The basic principles employed are:

Converting light to heat: Any black on the inside will improve the effectiveness of turning light into heat.
Trapping heat: Isolating the air inside the dryer from the air outside the dryer makes an important difference. Using a clear solid, like a plastic bag or a glass cover, will allow light to enter, but once the light is absorbed and converted to heat, a plastic bag or glass cover will trap the heat inside. This makes it possible to reach similar temperatures on cold and windy days as on hot days.
Moving the heat to the food.
