Solar charger?

[CGeminski]

Has anyone used a solar charger to keep their batteries charged up? I have a 21SE and am wondering what brands other Parker owners have used successfully. If you are a fan of a product, a link to the manufacturers website or a page to purchase would be appreciated as well.

I store the boat in SW Florida on a covered lift and use a 10 watt Coleman charger purchased from end of season clearance sale for $10. It works fine and I dont have a onboard charger but I charge the batteries using a Battery Minder charger when in FL and using the boat

Some good info here on them and the need for using a controller.

I think this is the one my brother uses on his sail boat. It's worked well for him.

I've been experimenting with this one for about 2 weeks. I hooked it up without a controller to a 12vdc lawnmower battery. So far it's been keeping the battery topped up without any gassing. Thus far, I'd recommend it for keeping a battery up.

I have a 2x4 100 watt panel that I put on when my boat is in storage. It keeps all my batteries topped off. It has a charge controller on it.
