Re: Hypothetical Solar Cell Situation

I don't have specifics on the motors drawing power, but the panels themselves will be mounted on a folding structure. The motors I currently have are only powerful enough to lift the given dimensions. I'll need bigger motors to lift a larger panel. I ask because I don't know much about solar panels at all; I'm mechanical, so I designed the lift arms, folders, and lazy susan. Two others worked on the solar panels, but I'm not entirely certain we picked the right style or the right wattage.
