I think you might need some solar panels and an MPPT type charge controller.
My genasun isn't even rated to be used with a single 10 watt panel but its working. On cool days it holds the battery at about 12.7 volts. The optima battery liked to sit at about 12.2v even when the alternator was hooked up before I started adding solar panels.
