6"x6" solar panels son's school project

My son and i working school project just can't to get voltage out of
the panels to kick start two 3v solar motors using four panels
do we have build a linearer regulator or can i just bridge rectifier
or should dc to ac
any help we would be we greatfu for
thank you for your time

Hi Logan and Drewl,

You don't need a regulator or rectifier. What are the 'Specifications' of
the batteries and the motors?

Jay

I hope you have some kind of a multimeter. How much voltage and
current are you actually getting out of your panels? How much
voltage and current does it take to run the motor, for instance from
a set of flashlight batteries?

do we have build a linearer regulator or can i just bridge rectifier

Neither of those would help getting more power out. A linear
regulator would help if you are getting too much voltage for the
motor. A rectifier would convert AC to DC, but that's not your
problem as the panel already puts out DC.

or should dc to ac

Only if the motor requires AC. If so, your life is more
complicated.
