No wires needed! (Yeah, ok, not really a motor.)

Yes, you could use it to run a small electric clock. In this way you could record the amount of time solar energy was available each day.

In all seriousness...

It is possible, and it is available now. There are companies that sell Solar PV powered well pumps for example. But it takes a LOT of PV panels to power a SMALL motor and without batteries, only when it is sunny.

Describe your plan and we can let you know if it is feasible.

Oh, you are converting solar power to electricity to run the motor.

I must have misunderstood the question, "run motor with solar power".
