Hi everyone.
I'm new here and have a basic understanding when it comes to circuit building (Cheap hobby stuff) so sorry if this doesn't make any sense!
I've bought a 40 watt solar panel that I would like to power fans for a wood store to aid drying time. I don't really want to use a charge controller and battery with the solar panel, I would just like to run the fans in the daytime directly from the solar.
The problem is that I've only got one 12v 40w fan and so when its cloudy/dull the fan wont turn. Could you advise me on how to build, or find a circuit that would divert the minimal power generated when its cloudy to a smaller fan(maybe multiple pc fans) that would be able to operate at a lower wattage?
Thanks Andy
