I'm looking to set up a solar system that powers my small shed without using batteries. I want to run a fan, USB outlets, and small LED lights, but only when the sun is shining. I have a 150W solar panel that produces up to 35V. Is there a way to stabilize the voltage output from the panel so that I can connect it to a small 12V inverter or reduce the voltage to 12V directly?

You might want to consider getting a small power station to connect your solar panel. These units often come without an inverter, making them smaller and cheaper while offering a steady output for your devices. I’ve got an Anker Solix power station that works well, so it could keep your fan running reliably even when solar input dips, especially during cloudy days.
Yeah, these power stations are great! Just make sure the capacity matches your fan’s power needs.
