Research on solar grain drying has been directed toward finding the best and most cost-effective methods of applying solar energy as a source of heat for drying. Solar assisted low temperature drying systems successfully dried full bins of corn when the initial corn moisture was limited to 20 to 22 percent. Corn with initial moisture contents up to 30 percent was successfully dried when shallower layers of grain were placed in the bin periodically after the moisture content of the previous layer had dried to 20 percent or below.
