YSD-UNIB12 solar dryer has been modified its interior by replacing the trays with rail suitable for clothes hanger and size in order to be applied to dry clothes. The dryer had 3 x 6 m2 total area with about 300 pieces of clothes capacity. The dryer finishes drying of wet towel faster (about 12 hours) than that of sun drying (more than 18 hours).
