Solar Charger
Hello,

Not a bad idea. Make sure that at the very least it has a blocking
diode to insure that at night the batteries don't discharge into the
solar cell. Your solar cell is small enough versus your battery bank
that you really don't have to worrry about overcharging. You can get an
inexpensive voltage regulator if one is not built into the unit. For
best efficiancy, and high cost, look for one with maximum power point
tracking (mppt).
