Solar charging to 12 V battery?

Having done some extra reading on the HSD system in Toyotas hybrids, I got the thought, that I could use solar modules to feed power to the auxillery 12 V battery, which - as far as I understand it - provides the power for lights, fans heated seats etc, but not the AC-system.

It seems to me that the 12 v battery gets charged form either the HV battey or the ICE depending on conditions.

So charging the 12 v battery via roofmounted solarmodules and a 12 v solar charge controller should get some power to the 12 v battry, that the ICE or HV battery then shall not deliver, thus save some energy, thus get a bit better milage dues to running the ICE less for charging HV battery?

Any thoughts?
