“…Table 6 shows the actual cost of components used in making the PVT (with c-Si PV module only as per Indian market) greenhouse dryer. In Table 7, uniform annual cost (UAC) has been calculated for different lifespan (5,10,15,20,25, and 30 years) and different interest rate (5, 10, and 15%). It can be seen in Table 7 that with increment of interest and lifespan of experimental setup, the UAC increases and decreases respectively as expected.…”

“…The new approach investigated for drying system performance through total life cycle cost (LCC) effectiveness. Further, a sensitivity analysis was done to assess the sturdiness of the assessed performance indicators contrary to the indeterminate parameters 10 . The economic analysis of drying system having 212‐m 2 collector area was presented 11 and it was in process for 2.75 year.…”

Present communication is an attempt to explore the best PV technology suitable for PVT solar drying system through environmental and economic feasibility. Experimental setup for one of the PV technology (c‐Si) has been taken for experimental validation with theoretical model. Further, the environmental feasibility and environ economic evaluation for drying system having roof with various PV namely, c‐Si, p‐Si or m‐Si, a‐Si, CdTe, and CIGS have been evaluated through energy matrices (EPBT, EPF, and LCCE), CO2 emission, net CO2 mitigation and carbon credit earned which is based on energy and exergy output of the system on yearly basis. The economic analysis has been carried out with experimental data taken on c‐Si PVT drying system by considering grapes as a crop. Cogeneration efficiency has been calculated for different PV technologies and found to be highest for c‐Si PV technology that is, 61.71%, 77.98%, and 12.25% based on energy (electrical and thermal) gain, equivalent (overall) energy gain, and exergy gain, respectively. LCCE on energy basis reveals that for the five‐year system life, c‐Si and CIGS have equal efficiency but after five years, c‐Si is best. Cogeneration efficiency of system on the basis of energy (electrical + thermal) gain, equivalent (overall) energy gain and overall exergy gain found to be maximum with c‐Si PV technology that is, 61.71%, 77.98%, and 12.25%, respectively.

“…In analysis, EE calculation requires the quantification of the materials used in the construction and maintenance of the dryer its entire life time. The mass values of the different materials were then multiplied by the embodied energy coefficients of the corresponding materials (EEC), usually expressed in MJ kg -1 to give the total EE for the overall equipment [53].…”

Solar drying is an emerging technology to preserve wide range of products from agriculture to animal-based products. The application of solar dryers, however must be evaluated to determine its benefit and effectiveness. In the evaluation of solar dryer performance, three criteria which are most important to look at are thermal performance, economic cost and environmental implications. Therefore, this paper attempts to review the thermoeconomic analysis and environmental evaluation on various solar drying system. Performance equations in energy–economic–environment analyses for solar drying syistems evaluation are presented. The CO2 emission, carbon mitigation, and earned carbon credit of various solar drying syistem are also presented.
