This study introduces an energy-efficient and cost-effective solar vegetable dehydrator that integrates air ventilation, solar thermal, and photovoltaic energy for operation in various weather conditions. In its prototype phase, the dehydrator aims to process small farm product quantities, reducing waste by dehydrating unsalable fruits for marketing as dried fruit. This promotes sustainability among small-scale agricultural producers. Optimization focuses on processing within a suitable timeframe, ensuring high energy efficiency, low costs, and enhanced product quality with desirable flavor and aroma. The dehydrator's active control of supply air and regulation of air circulation velocity are achieved through real-time monitoring of ambient temperature and humidity at the inlet and outlet. This dynamic control allows adjustments in operating conditions by managing the mix of fresh and recirculated air flows. Designed for mobility, the device facilitates easy relocation for optimal dehydration, enhancing operational efficiency and adaptability to local conditions. Through the developing and implementing this equipment, the study showcases the potential use of damaged fruits for commercial purposes. Successfully selling thinly sliced and dehydrated products contributes to the economic valorization of agricultural activities and promotes overall sustainability.
