This experimental research design was developed to a Solar Power Vulcanizer (SPV) in all serviceable aspects to save time, investment, manpower and the environment. This study is all about the utilization of the nature’s power - the SUN’S POWER that means no brownout in vulcanization operation. SPV is designed for greening the world to be lived by from generation to generation. The result of the three vulcanizer has the best temperature at 60oC in which the gum was bonded exactly to the rubber tire. Solar vulcanizer’s rate of energy consumption of 0.0033 and an efficiency of 85.22%, while Class B gum, rate of energy consumption is Php 0.0067 and an efficiency of 85.22%. Portable electronic vulcanizer’s rate of energy consumption at Php 0.0757 and an efficiency of 85.22%, while the Class B gum the rate of energy consumption at Php 0.15 and an efficiency of 85.22%. Conventional vulcanizer’s rate of energy consumption at Php 1.08 and efficiency of 43.38%, while Class B gum’s rate of energy consumption at Php 1.52 and with an efficiency of 78.08%. This study concluded that the usage of nature’s power resulted to a continuous power supply to the vulcanizer; and the accurate temperature and duration of the vulcanizing process using the SPV which eliminates the problem of gas emission (carbon dioxide) produced by the conventional (gas fired) vulcanizer of about 2.772 kg of carbon dioxide for 1 liter of diesel fuel and/or 2.331 kg of carbon dioxide for 1 liter of petrol into the atmosphere.
