SolarDryKick is an eco-friendly innovation based on solar energy designed to dry shoes faster, more practically and safely. The main problem that drove the development of this innovation is the difficulty that users, especially students and athletes, have in drying shoes during the rainy season or after outdoor activities. Damp shoes take a long time to dry, create unpleasant odors, disrupt comfort and increase the risk of fungal and bacterial infections. This has a negative impact on the health and daily routine of users. The objective of this innovation is to produce a portable, energy-saving, and user-friendly shoe dryer by utilizing renewable energy. This innovation uses materials such as solar panels, DC fans and a drying chamber that is designed to be lightweight but efficient. The method used allows solar energy to power the fan, thus accelerating the drying process through airflow. The novelty of this product lies in the combination of green energy technology with a portable design that does not rely solely on sunny weather or conventional electricity. Its applicability is very wide because it can be used by students, athletes, workers, and even communities in urban and rural areas. SolarDryKick has high commercial value because it has the potential to be widely marketed to educational institutions, sports equipment stores, and communities that prioritize environmentally friendly products. This innovation has a positive impact in terms of saving time, user comfort and environmental sustainability, as well as great potential to be expanded to local and global markets.
