Step 2Step 3 Electric Connections
You start out with soldering two electric wires to the motor.
Next you make the connection with solar module. Put the propeller on the motor's shaft provisionally to check it is spinning in the right direction with the solar panel in direct sunlight. If not, reverse wires.
Most laminated/molded solar modules have contacts wit threaded studs and nuts instead of soldering lips. Do not try to solder on them as their coating will make that very difficult. Make an eyelet to the wire and attach it with a washer and a nut (most often included when purchasing the solar module).
