Solar Panels
Does anyone use solar panels to charge their batteries instead of plugging to a charger or while fishing to maintain their power while pulling cranks?
Maybe I am behind the times but seems like one could connect to their battery while trolling and prolong the battery charge. Looks like the technology is advanced enough to do it now. Any thoughts?

The panel won't be charging the battery while running the motor, because it wouldn't be able to maintain a charging voltage at that current level. Think of it more as a trickle charger (unless you've got a really big powerful panel that can put out that kind of current).

I have a 24v trickle charge solar panel that works well.

Yes it works. Been using one for years but nothing replaces an On Board Charger.
