I am building a solar panel on the cheap and ordered a 6v solar cell from
Radio Shack, but the fan I want to use is 3v DC.
Can I just solder a resistor between them, and if so, what size?
Or any other easy fixes would be mucho appreciated.
I doubt if that 6 volt solar cell would have enough current to even
cause an issue with that fan..
You most likely will be able to directly connect it...
