520			_aRed Tilapia, a dominant species in Taal Lake, serves as a major source of income for the Residents of Napapanayan, Cuenca Batangas. To preserve its quality, residents traditionally dry the fish and sell it in local markets. However, traditional sun-drying methods face challenges, including inconsistent product quality due to unpredictable weather, limited control over temperature and humidity, and contamination risks from dust, insects, or animals. This study aims to improve the drying process of Red Tilapia by focusing on factors such as drying time and overall product quality. A dryer capable of handling up to 8 kg of Red Tilapia was designed and fabricated, reducing moisture content from 73.7% to 15% within 4–5 hours. The system incorporates renewable energy sources alongside mechanical systems to lower energy consumption and minimize environmental impact. This hybrid drying method is expected to enhance the process effectively, reduce the traditional drying time, and promote sustainability and economic viability for local communities.
