For a car with a lead-acid battery and significant draw on it a small solar panel to keep it topped up makes sense.
Just remember to unplug it when you take it in for service though.
When the grease monkeys detach the battery for whatever reason the panel would still feed the electrical system if it catches light; enough to throw error codes in the system that they did not know how to deal with.
I needed one extra trip to the dealers to get it sorted...
