Solar Powered DC Motor : DC motors can be used for a variety of projects and tasks, from homemade projects such as fans or improvised drills to more practical machines, like circular saws. The uses of DC motors are endless and can make your life easier. In this Instructabl…
While both work in the same way, DC motors are regarded to be both the easiest and best equipped to be powered by solar panels. This is because, as their name suggests, DC motors run using direct current. Direct current is the form of electrical current that flows from a power source directly into a motor.
Your solar-powered DC motor will run just fine without a battery, but it is recommended to add one so the use of your motor isn’t limited to the amount of daylight you have. Once you understand all of the components, the process is very simple. First off, you have two main components: the solar panel and the motor itself.
Our Solar Powered DC Motors have all been manufactured in our plant in Winnebago, MN since 1969. If you have an application for a Solar DC Motor, just send us your specifications and we will be glad to send you a no obligation quote. The output of our Solar Motor can range from fractional horsepower up to 2 HP.
If you want to power an AC motor with solar panels, you need to use a solar power inverter to convert the DC current produced by the solar panels to AC current to power the motor. Although your solar panels can technically be directly connected to a DC motor, you run the risk of wasting a lot of the energy produced by your solar panel.
MET Motors was able to duplicate the performance for their motor and deliver them locally. For directly powered systems the solar panels start to provide the Solar Power Motor with low power as the sun rises, increasing during the day, and dropping to zero at night. The motor performance parallels these voltage and current levels.
