So the panel is not sufficient for you to run the fan directly.
Can a solar panel run a fan.
All values below are from my multimeter.
Solar panel electricity production.
A typical solar panel of 3w will deliver an average 60 efficiency when sunlight is present directly on the panel.
Also the voltage won t be regulated.
Before we can figure out what can be run from a solar panel we need two pieces of information.
The blades of the fan are connect.
Ac for grid connected homes the fact that we are all able to access almost unlimited amounts of electricity 24 7 is a beautiful part of our modern electricity grid.
Buy atomberg gorilla or superfan.
Get a efficient ceiling fan first.
If you want to power only one fan and you are having inverter use a 100w solar panel with charge controller and preferably 40ah minimum battery.
What sort of charge controller you use will be a consideration as will your battery.
Whilst it will have no problems on a 200 or 300w panel.
I can connect one.
If i can make this work all is well.
Daily a single 100 watt solar panel can power a few small devices reliably provided you factor in a few things.
I have a solar panel that puts out 8 7 to 9 volts at 1 8 amps.
Trying to run a small fan with a solar panel to vent air from my shed.
Similarly to how solar lights works a small solar fan is powered by a solar panel that is either mounted on the device or wired to a separate installation.
Though the fan may work it will be very slow.
A ceiling fan will operate on a 100w panel but not for very long.
By adding a battery you are regulating the voltage.
In that case get battery with storage that s just a bit higher than your solar panel s daily output.
Let s take a look at ac energy requirements and typical solar production to see if solar panels can really run air conditioners in each setup.
I have two fans marked 12v 0 38a.
What will a 100 watt solar panel run.
For testing purposes i am also using a 9v battery that measures almost identically.
