I would like to connect a solar panel to a small fan. I am not sure as to what is needed to actually “connect” the two together. Any help is appreciated.

Solar panel hooked to a battery or two then to a small inverter then to your 120 volt fan ……. Or …. Solar panel to 12 volt battery wired to a 12 volt fan. I use both
A metal wire of some sort
you might need an inverter
If your fan uses a tiny motor like in a cell phone vibrator, you might be able to use just a few solar cells. Otherwise, you might find the voltage and current from a pre-assembled panel, and get a fan that uses less power. You will then likely need electronics to match the two up, and maybe a battery to keep it going when the sun goes down.
