36 cells will give me 18V. I'll run it to some form of charge controller with a dump option. Someone on ER recently posted a link to a MPPT circuit which are known to boost generation by up to 30%. So, thats a real plus if I can build the circuit.

I wouldn't add any extra fans, just run the existing fan.
