The idea behind designing and developing a hybrid solar dehydrator machine is to lower the cost of the drying process of herbal teas by using solar energy as the primary source of drying energy and electric power as a backup source. The hybrid solar dehydrator has a solar heat collector, a drying chamber, and electric heaters that only turn on when the drying temperature provided by the sun is not enough to keep the desired drying temperature. This research also includes devising protocols for collecting, drying, and brewing herbal tea materials to determine the potential phytochemicals they might contain. An evaluation of the performance of the hybrid solar dehydrator machine showed that solar radiation and electric power use energy efficiently, with a drying efficiency of 54.52%. This technique keeps the temperature where it should be and lowers the humidity to 6%. The drying moisture reduction was 94.8% while keeping the phytochemicals: alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, in the guava and guyabano samples.
