Can a solar array power a dc motor even if some cells may be shaded?
I have read some information about using a schottky diode to solve this problem but I am not sure about how to correctly design this circuit.
Yes. Shading of just a few cells in a module (solar panel) will reduce its output to close to zero. However in an array, the other modules will still produce electricity. The diode keeps the dead module from sapping power from the others.
