A solar-powered rice huller kit consisting of a DC motorized rice huller, a solar PV module, 2 LED tube lights, 12 V lighter socket outlet, and a mobile phone charger kit.
The Solar PV Rice Huller kit, manufactured by Project Support Services (PSS) is a DC motorized agro-processing appliance energized through a PV module. The kit has been designed for rural rice farmers that want to step-out from subsistence production.
The system’s modularity allows adding more PV modules to increase production from 60 kg/day up to 300 kg/day. Additionally, the rice huller can be complemented with a rice polisher without buying new components. The kit also provides access to energy for other uses, including 2 LED tube lights, 12 V lighter socket outlets, and a mobile phone charger kit.
Project Support Services designs and manufactures DC solar powered agro-processing appliances which have been implemented in Papua New Guinea, the Pacific Islands.

Design Specifications
The Solar PV Rice Huller Kit is composed of the PSS Power Platform, an adaptable power unit capable of running multiple machines and devices. The platform contains the Smart Solar Control Box, which has high amp 24V outlets to power milling machines, clean water supply, small businesses, or a mini-grid. It also has low amp 12V outputs for lights, phone chargers, and small appliances. The basic unit can produce 60 kg of brown rice per day, but adding up to 5 solar panels this production can increase up to 300 kg/day. It can also be added to a rice polisher machine by plugging it into the Power Platform. The package includes 2 LED lube lights, a 12V lighter socket outlet, and a mobile phone charging kit. Additional LED lights and cables can also be added.
