Hi all

I have a solar panel fitted on my trailer which I use for my music performances.
solar panel is 12 volt 180 watt.

I have a wiper motor fitted but am looking for a circuit that could operate this wiper motor.
the wiper motor drives a  pulley to have  a perfect slow-speed motion.


any suggestions appreciated

ron

ps. i was first hoping to used 2 small panels wired in reverse voltage to operate the motor, but due to the wattage motor consumes it would need to be 2 larger panels which I feel only causes more headaches

Hi Ron,

Silicon Chip Magazine has put out a couple of solar tracker articles over the years.
If you search here for "Solar Tracker" (Name & Description) a couple of articles come up. One from January, 1995 may be of interest.
You may have to purchase the article/magazine (PDF) though.
