Since you want a 6V system to run your motor you'll need to charge a 6V battery. The 6V panel won't charge a 6V battery very well. You need the panel to be at a higher voltage than the battery so that the current will flow into the battery (e.g. for a 12V battery panels put out 18-22V). If you size the system correctly then you won't have to worry about overcharging because the panel won't push hard enough to overcharge and damage your battery. This battery would be more than enough:I have an electric screwdriver powered by 4 "AA"'s 1.5v each so 6v, that turns both ways. I also have a digital mains timer that is programmable. I have found "6V 200mA 1.2W Solar Panel" on ebay. Would that be ok?
