Abstract
The process of drying fish using solar energy is strongly influenced by weather conditions. Sunlight is needed by household scale workers because it is cheap. On the other hand, sun drying creates additional workload for workers. Workers are exposed to hot sun during drying. Continuous heat exposure results in an increased work pulse. This affects the level of worker productivity. To anticipate this, a solar dryer is used by utilizing a solar collector as an absorber of sunlight and a drying chamber for the drying process of fish. The use of solar dryers has been shown to increase drying temperatures and reduce workers' sun exposure. This decreases the workload of workers, so that it has an impact on increasing productivity. Worker productivity increased by 133.94%.

Summary
Indonesia as a tropical country, rural population uses the sun as a source of food preservation. The alternative is to optimize the sun as a source of drying energy through a dryer with a solar collector. The plates on the collector will absorb sunlight so that the environmental air heating is more optimal This hot air is flowed into the drying chamber and used to dry food. The drying process with the solar dryer system provides better display quality and nutritional content, and the color of the fish looks cleaner. This has an impact on the productivity level of workers as processors of dried anchovy. The use of solar dryers in drying fish can reduce the workload of workers. To increase the productivity of workers doing anchovies drying business, use solar dryers. A dryer with a solar collector will convert sunlight to thermal
