To overcome this problem, a drying machine was made using PV system. tool also form solving problem traditional process which sometimes clean, safe, depends on direct sunlight. system can meet 169.95% need 240 Wh/day electrical energy from dryers. produce 407.81 Wh/day, largest reach 520 Wh smallest 160.8 Wh. The results analysis impact dryers socially economically gave significant (p<0.005), there an increase before after use experienced by fishermen. When viewed perspective tool, accuracy benefit factor, shape dryer, good response, with average value <br /> 4.19-5.26.</span>
