looking closer at this subject, the £10 solar gearbest option makes no mention of containing a diode, (afaik a component to ensure 1 way electricity transfer) so if plugged in 24/7 could bleed off power when not supplying it. so have gone for an ebay kit with a bit more wattage and diode, Im still unsure if a charger controller would be necessary too, these are not expensive (£5-10), www.gearbest.com/home-gadgets/pp_166831.html for example and carry an amp rating, does this refer to the charge load or the battery?? Im sure the car battery can supply more than 10a ?? that charge controller would be useless for your needs, the circuit protected panel is all you need (the one on ebay) which prevents the battery discharging into the panel, and you get 2 billy bonuses with that unit, it has a natty looking case and it will probably arrive faster
