Abstract
Solar energy represents an alternative source of energy supply, which has also found its application in
wood processing technology. In particular, solar energy finds great application in the field of wood
drying. Solar energy is defined as the emitted light and heat produced by the sun, which is harnessed
with the help of developing technologies such as solar collectors, photovoltaic cells, solar and thermal
collectors, various types of solar architecture, plantations and reactors that use molten salts, and
technologies of artificial photosynthesis.
The purpose of this paper is to give a brief overview of solar drying technology. A special review is
given to solar drying methods. The method of work does not cause experimental research in practice
but represents a collection of used literature and individual research.
