Wrong sets of data for one.
The speed of a motor is going to depend on the output of the panel, and how the motor is made.
Other factors as load and bearing friction, not to mention the magnetic friction between the armature and magnetic pole faces. also determine speed. And the panel itself will influence it too- how is oriented and time of day. All play a factor.
You can conduct your experiment with the drive motor from a scrap CD or DVD player or drive, Then you can take your panels and research for yourself.
1 volt at 400 milliamp provides 1 V * 400 * 10-3 A / 750 HP/W = 0.0005 HP. An electric motor if available at such a low voltage would at most be 90% efficient so you would have 0.00048 HP
Also you have to keep in mind the load factor depending on the size of the motor. An electric motor draws up to 10 times more power to start then it takes to run.
