Simple Solar Powered Pump w/ Rechargeable Battery

Hi Everyone,


My aim is to build a simple solar powered pump with a rechargeable battery to water plants.

The idea is to use a 6V 1W Solar Panel connected to a TP4056 (protected) to charge a 18650 Lithium Ion Battery. On the output is an MT3608 2A Boost Converter to step up the voltage to a 3V/6V DC Pump.

I would like to know if the design work and any correction/ improvements on different components or adding in a timing function for the motor.

I have attached a diagram for more information. I am a total beginner and would really appreciate any help or advice.


Many thanks,

Jack
