Abstract: The corn shelling machine utilizes an electric motor as its primary driving mechanism and a solar panel connected to a battery as its main energy source, with the nationalpower grid (PLN) serving as a backup energy supply. The implementation of this machine is expected to ease the workload of corn farmers during the shelling process, which previously relied on manual labor or large-scale machinery with relatively high operational costs. The objective of designing the solar-powered corn shelling machine is to determine the method for constructing a corn sheller using solar panel technology and to measure the production capacity of the machine within a one-minute interval. Based on five test trials, the average shelling capacity of the machine was found to be 760.6 grams per minute.
