Hello,
I'm very new to electronics but I'm trying hard to learn. Right now I'm stuck with a project for school that might be a bit to advanced for me, so I hope someone can help me a bit.
I have an electro motor powered by a battery, the battery gets charged by solar panels. I figured it wouldn't be possible to load and unload the battery at the same time, so when it's sunny I want the solar panels to power the motor with 7,2 volt and use the remaining power to charge the battery. When there's no sunshine (when the panels don't supply enough energy to power the motor), I want the battery to take over.
I don't know what exact components to use. I was thinking it should be something like this:
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
