$15 Solar Panel?

So I've seen these 15-20 dollar solar panels around that plug straight into the cigarette outlet.... I've been reading a lot on alternaters and saw someone say that adding a solar panel to a stock setup can help mpg by making the alt not work as hard as usual....
So would one of these solar panels actually help mpg this way? AND do it just through the power outlet?
Any info is appreciated cause I can't find this exact topic or answer...
