While we are on this subject, I have a question. I have a solar panel from a traffic control arrowboard (You know, the ones with the blinking arrow that are placed before road construction work sites), and I would like to mount it as a trickle charger on my garage. Are there any specific electronics that I need to install to make this work properly? I do not have a controller for the panel.

Having more cars than drivers at the moment, I'm thinking they might be a good idea. Easier than hauling out the A/C powered trickle charger all the time.
