Is there any reason this same circuit couldn't be used to run a DC motor direct from solar? I built a dc pump "optimiser" from a kit that as I understand uses the same principle as this - charges a bank of capacitors to a set voltage, than closes the circuit to the pump motor until the voltage drops again to a certain point. It seems to help keep my small 24v pump running when otherwise it wouldn't if it was directly running on the panels.
I'd like a bigger version though, to run a 190v DC motor from a treadmill directly from solar. This might be the ticket.
