I just need a starter circuit, which makes use of caps, not a MPPT, since I do not need the panel to run at the MPP and do not want to use regular batteries. I just need a starter circuit in the aforementioned parameters; voltage and current limits I can adjust on my own, but I have some difficulty with designing a suitable circuit. | |

The answer, you get a MPPT tracker, you cannot get your motor to start without an MPPT tracker, solar modules do not have enough source impedance and they never will. | |
