Well yes, those panels are worth a lot as they are expensive, but still need a turbine to cover for low light and use a guiding system to track direct sun. For us punto owners a cheap solar panel put on the dashboard tracking the clouds will not do anything in the middle of winter.
What about at night when its not windy, does it go off or does it have my mouse idea as a backup?
this debate has just got silly.. best thing to do is trace any drains on battery and eliminate them and have a good battery in then and you won't ever have an issue. End.

By the way this is not a debate, is just a realistic view of what you should expect if you thinking in investing in cheap solar panel. The system will probably have a battery as backup that can charge when is sunny or windy and use the battery at night.
theres no debate here, just traditional FF off topic banter about how light up road signs work
I think we should discuss issues like this a lot more lol
I haven't found any with wind attachments around my area

These will only work on fiats if you put them straight onto the battery switch the ignition off and it isolates the fag lighter... if its isolated it cant "back charge" via the socket........
I use one like this

They are "smart" due to the charging method they employ
something like this:
as for the solar chargers......
the large one in maplin shoves out ..137mA it will take a LONG time in good conditions to put any usable charge into the battery..
