Product description Brand name and product description

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.
