Types Of Dryer	Conventional Dryers	Electric Dryer	Solar (PE: Polyethylene)	Solar PP: Polycarbonate
Benefit	Low cost, practicality is widespread and can drain higher capacity	Faster drying time, cleaner and conventional options.	Electricity is not needed, clean	Electricity is not required, clean and low maintenance costs, clean and protected against UV rays and good food quality PC has 10 Years warranty.
Disadvantages	Not Clean (Food Markets), Labor Intensity, Food Quality and Taste of food are unpleasant.	High operating costs, high electricity costs make the overall cost of the product expensive and non-viable	Need space, Low durability (PE needs to be changed every 3 Years). High investment costs for individual farmers and high LPG requirements.	Needing space, high investment for individual farmers and require LPG if it is at high location.
Cost Of Petrol	0	USD 0.7/kWh (India)	USD 0.6 / liter	USD 0.6 / liter
Humidity Control	Uncontrollable	Controlled	Less Control	Controlled

Table 1

Solar drying is more productive & effective than sun drying.

Humidity content decreases to 3% in 6-8 hours.

Outside the grille is productive and requires low or no energy consumption.

Table 2

The SDD comes with polycarbonate sheets showing the potential of double ambient temperature.

Despite the varied weather, drying performance in SSD has little impact.
