How to connect a solar panel to a 12v battery.
Solar panel used to power fan directly probably not the typical brushed motor is pretty voltage tolerant.
Alternating current motors can also be powered by solar panels but they require a power inverter to change the direct current of the solar panels to alternating current to feed the motor.
Add a blocking diode on the positive rail between the battery and the panel or as previously suggested and the best solution imho use a small solar charge controller.
It is very possible though that you will need a larger solar panel to start the fan and run it under less than full sun.
If you keep the panel connected as shown in your diagram it will absorb some power when it is not getting sunlight.
You should try to supply about 5000 watts.
