What if it rains.
Can the dryer retain heat to an extent of drying small fishes (omena/dagaa) without causing any loss

[@SawaWorld]

Thank you for watching this learning video. Solar dryers are designed to be efficient in sunny conditions, they may not be able to retain enough heat to dry small fish like omena or dagaa during rainy weather.

Can i use this to dry avocado

[@SawaWorld]

Yes, you can definitely use a solar dryer to dry avocados! Solar dryers are great for preserving the nutrients and extending the shelf life of various fruits, including avocados. When drying avocados, it's important to slice them evenly to ensure consistent drying.
