Should definitely have that fan powered via a controller, it's only rated for 12 volts and that solar panel in full sun will be putting out somewhere between 15 and 22 volts, the controller should regulate this down to 12 volts.
totally agree. it would also considerably increase the expense for the project. Worst case, I will go that route, but wanted to see what would happen with a direct wire setup. Thanks for watching. @@johnandrews3049
Built a high velocity fan using automotive blower motor direct connected to 100 watt solar panel in 3rd year testing hasn't burned up yet. Great full sun goes into turbo mode. Nice fan sitting on porch keeps you cool.
🌱 Homesteader ingenuity Love It!!! 🪴
Yes sir!
well done, thanks, you given me the proof i need to make my own ideas work.
Go for it! I've been happy with this setup so far. If anything changes I'll be sure to post a follow up video. Thanks for watching!

It worked great this year. I did turn it off a couple of months ago. I am planning on doing a follow up video.
I picked one up. working great so far. thanks for the info.
Good job! Simple and effective!
Thanks. Its still running great!
Subscribed for that intro solar joke

I was sent your video thanks. I have never seen anyone put the fan on the outside of the building.
I'd imagine you could run the system either direction. Thanks for watching!
Very nice!
Thanks!

As mentioned in the video I am doing this as an experiment. If it doesn't work Ill be sure to do an update. Thanks for watching.
A battery or 2 depending on Amp draw from the fan.. would help alot..
