Solar Flour Mill System:

A solar flour mill is a machine that uses solar energy to power the grinding process of grains into flour. Instead of relying on electricity from the grid or fossil fuels, it harnesses clean, renewable solar power through solar panels connected to electric motors. This makes flour milling sustainable, especially in remote or off-grid areas where electricity supply is unreliable. The solar flour mill typically includes a solar panel system, a motor, and a grinding mechanism. It helps farmers and small businesses process grains like wheat, maize, and millet efficiently. The use of solar energy reduces operational costs and environmental impact, promoting green technology in agriculture.

Types of Solar Flour Mills:

1.  Solar Flour Mill – Operates entirely on solar power with grid power for night use.

2. Hybrid Solar Flour Mill – Uses solar energy combined with solar, grid or diesel backup.

Benefits:

• Low operating cost due to free solar energy.

• Environmentally friendly, zero emissions.

• Ideal for rural, off-grid locations.

• Reduces dependency on fossil fuels.

• Enhances local food processing capabilities.

•  Solar mills with motors up to 7.5–10 HP and capacities up to 80 kg/hour for semi-automatic or automatic commercial use
