The solar energy research group from Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has designed and constructed solar assisted drying systems for drying agricultural and marine products. This study is a review of numerous types of solar dryer systems developed by SERI, UKM. The classification of solar drying systems has divided by two namely air based solar collector systems and water based solar collector systems. Drying with solar assisted drying systems was found to be a viable option with many benefits such as protected drying environment, improved dried quality of products and reduces drying time compared with the traditional sun drying method. Therefore, SERI's solar assisted drying system shows a great potential for application in drying process of agricultural and marine products.
