I have a small 12 volt fan that I want to power with a solar panel. The fan power usage is at most 10 watts.
A friend told me it would be ill advised to use a solar panel directly wired to the fan and that I should have an charge regulator + AGM battery in between. I was planning to have a solar charge regulator in between, but do I really need the battery? For what it's worth, the place of application is very sunny, and I will only need to run the fan during the day when it is very bright out.
