The present invention is directed to time and energy efficient drying of organic matter. The present invention features a drying system which may include a solar tower, a shredder, and an input conveyor for transporting the organic matter to conveyors positioned in a cascading configuration. The system may further include sensors for collecting information, and a control system for receiving the information to determine a speed of the conveyors. The system may further include an output conveyor for transporting the organic matter from the conveyors to a storage. The system may further include water condensers to reclaim water evaporated from the organic matter to be stored and repurposed. The system may further include a solar power system for converting sunlight into power for the system. Sunlight may cause a thermal gradient within the solar tower, causing air in an upper portion to be hotter than air in a lower portion.
