We dry turmeric and chilli for 400 member farmers now without ever watching the sky. The tunnel dryer paid for itself in one season, and the colour we retain has lifted our market price.

Quick answer
Rudra Solar Energy supplies off-grid solar dryers across Uttarakhand, supporting women's self-help groups in Lohaghat, Kumaon and Garhwal to dry herbs, fruit and vegetables.
Across the hills of Uttarakhand, women\'s self-help groups have become quiet champions of solar drying. From Lohaghat to the Garhwal valleys, they take what the mountains grow and turn it into clean, sellable products.
We are proud to support that work with dryers built for steep, remote terrain — systems that need no fuel, no wiring and very little fuss.
Livelihoods, not just equipment
Wild herbs, malta and other citrus, apricots, peas, ginger and seasonal vegetables all dry into products with real shelf life and real margin. For an SHG, a solar dryer is less a machine and more a small business — it lets members add value through the year and sell when prices are good rather than dumping a glut at harvest.
Made for the mountains
Our dryers stand up to hill weather and run wherever the sun reaches, which matters in valleys the grid struggles to reach. We provide hands-on training so groups can operate and maintain the systems themselves, and we stay reachable when questions come up.
