Knowing the specs of both the panels and the fans would be helpful.
How to connect solar panels to ac fan.
If your fan uses a tiny motor like in a cell phone vibrator you might be able to use just a few solar cells.
I am testing out the solar powered computer fan.
It would be good to put a dc controller in between panel and dc fan.
Connect the ac generator to the power inverter to provide additional electricity in case you run out of solar energy or battery power.
A backup source is essential for meeting power needs.

How to power fan directly from solar panel.
Let s take a look at ac energy requirements and typical solar production to see if solar panels can really run air conditioners in each setup.
Ac for grid connected homes the fact that we are all able to access almost unlimited amounts of electricity 24 7 is a beautiful part of our modern electricity grid.
If matched and the current rating of the motor is slightly more than that provided by the solar panel ca.
Otherwise you might find the voltage and current from a pre assembled panel and get a fan that uses less power.
Solar energy is as well used to heat.
In order to run a solar fan directly from solar panel without battery you need to select whole system carefully.
A fan having 12vdc and 25 watt need a panel of 12vdc and 30watt.
We will learn how to connect solar panels to battery through an inverter to output ac current.
A solar panel can be connected to a motor directly but it shall depend on the current and the power of the solar panel to drive the motor.
Check out this panel on amazon.
The goal is to use this in my shop as an attic vent.
In this very basic solar panel wiring installation tutorial we will show how to connect a solar panel to the ac load through ups inverter charge controller.
Video shows the basic hookup of a standard 80mm computer case fan to a solar panel.
You will also know how to connect the pv panel to the battery and direct dc load as well.
Be it as the main source of energy or as a back up to the popular power outages experienced on main grid power supplies.
The little 12v computer type muffin fans would need to be tested as some models do not like to start from a slow voltage rise others have a little timer circuit that repeats the start cycle and that style will start.
You will then likely need electronics to match the two up and maybe a battery to keep it going when the sun goes down.
