Patching in the sunlight may be a bit beyond the scope of what I can do because that is all controlled by the Universal Fermenter middleware plugin this mod is tied into. Not something I programmed myself.

As for wind, I believe it just works like a wind turbine. Keep wind-blockers away from it.

That said, drying speed is based on temperature, sunlight, dryness (no rain/snow), airflow (wind), but the balance does not expect perfect conditions for every single one of those. You can usually just have some covered (but outdoor) racks for wind based drying, or uncovered outside for sun-based drying if it's not too wet there. Trying to do indoor drying could be a bit tricky.
