The roofing is manufactured using polycarbonate sheet, which enables the entry of solar heat and retains an optimal temperature for drying. For drying cardamom, it is advisable to spread a woolen cloth over the polycarbonate sheet to retain the color of green cardamom during drying.

At mid day, a temperature of around 60 to 65 degree celsius can be maintained within the dryer chamber by only utilizing the solar energy. After sunset, the dryer can be operated using fire wood as fuel to run the dryer furnace. The firewood needed is very minimal and energy efficient.
