Re: solar charger
Absolutely useless
2.4W, which will be it's maximum output when facing the sun on a sunny day, is not even enough to power an interior light (not that you'd need an interior light when the sun was shining
). It certainly won't replace much of what you use from your main battery.

Re: solar charger
It might be cheaper, but it's still useless
10 hours of blazing sunshine would be about the same as running the engine for 2-3 minutes.
