Ghost chilli dried in a forced convection solar dryer and open sun are presented. The drying process of ghost chilli occurred only in the falling rate period. Midilli and Kucuk model best describes ghost chilli drying process in solar dryer. Page and modified page model best describe ghost chilli drying process in open sun. Solar drying takes 70 h less in comparison with open sun for drying ghost chilli.
