1. High initial investment and long payback period: One of the major restraints for the solar dryer market is the high upfront cost associated with purchasing and installing solar drying systems. While government incentives can help offset some of these costs, the initial investment remains a barrier for many potential buyers. Additionally, the long payback period may deter some businesses from investing in solar dryers.

2. Dependence on weather conditions: Solar dryers rely on sunlight to function, making them susceptible to weather conditions. Cloudy or rainy days can significantly affect the performance of solar dryers, leading to disruptions in the drying process. This dependence on weather can be a significant restraint, particularly in regions with unpredictable or limited sunlight.

3. Lack of awareness and technical expertise: Despite the growing awareness of solar drying technology, there is still a lack of knowledge and understanding about its implementation and maintenance. Furthermore, the technical expertise required to design, install, and operate solar dryers may be a barrier for some businesses, particularly smaller enterprises with limited resources.
