Question
How does the fan hook-up to the solar panel?
I know there is a battery that receives the charge, and that the battery powers the fan. But does the product come with cord the connects the solar panel to the fan, or not? And if not, what do you have to do to allow the solar panel to power the fan?

Question
What happens when battery fully discharges?
I would leave the fan on in my garage 24/7 which means the battery would fully discharge every night. What are the ramifications of doing this?

The garage fan is not designed to run 24/7. You should consider a system consisting of a 12 volt fan, a deep cycle marine battery and a large solar panel. Most of these may be purchased at Northern.
