Thank you all for the advice. I am not yet committed to the full solar roof option. I was just looking for something to keep the batteries from running down in a period of inactivity.
I opted for a cheap fix. $30 7 watt solar panel from harbor freight. $33 Battery Tender solar regulator. $10 extension cable. When in storage, I put the 14x14 solar panel in the window with the most sun exposure and have it cabled directly to the battery. So far, so good. I will have better feedback when in storage for a period longer than a month.
Return them. Fully charge the battery bank. Disconnect the ground cable. Why waste your money?
