Thanks a lot! You helped me figure out my problem.

My problem was that my solar panel wasn't producing enough current to turn the motor. I have tried finding different solar panels, but can't find
the one I am looking for. So if you could find a reliable, small solar panel that can runs a motor, I would be very glad.

Thank you.

To Everyone who helped me:

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me with my science project. All the help I have received really helped me to win
and learn a lot. I made a different solar car in time to turn in my project and I received 1st Place!!! Without the help from everyone
I couldn't have done anything, so thanks a lot!

I just wanted to let everyone who helped me actually feel appreciated that they helped me and I won 1st place. So thanks for all your help
and I hope you will help me again for the science fair next year.

Thanks a lot! :D

Just an FYI - I have separated the post by adamronchi from this topic. It is now a new topic in this same forum with the title "Solar Cars - Starting a Project" (https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... =31&t=5407). This will help the Experts be able to better help the students starting work on their new project.
All the best,
