The Kiin is a compact and tested solar dryer designed by Bernhard Müller, and will be available in August 2022 for purchase through Solar Brother, his partner company in France.

The commercial dryer will come in three different versions: 1. with natural draft, 2. with photovoltaic cell powered fan and 3. with thermo-element to control the fan.

Bernhard also has construction instructions available for a simpler version. He created a manual for the Kiin solar dryer to explain its functions and assembly. The dryer can be made with inexpensive materials and should be easy to build.
