12v photocell wiring

When I just hook the antenna straight to the battery to test function, the antenna stops itself. I assume this to mean that it has it's own limit function. Will powering through a relay change this?

Relays are used to allow a lower amp control circuit to switch a high amp load depending on what your motor pulls and what your Pv switch can handle amp wise you could potentially do without the relay. Also sensitivity of the switch may be an issue would
A dark cloud cause it to close?

Location of the photo cell in a brightly lit area with no shadows and pointed north will eliminate that, and not pointed at any light source at night will prevent false opening.
