A low-cost solar tunnel dryer was designed and developed with a capacity of 50 kg. This prototype dryer is intended for drying seasonal higher catch/landing of fish. The dryer is a stand-alone system as it does not require any external power source/electricity. The fans are operated utilizing a solar PV panel fitted on the rooftop of the dryer and associated battery. The new dryer can be constructed in a larger size for drying bulk quantities of fish in a single batch. It is also of affordable cost and is expected to be suitable for the low-income fishermen community.
