Default Solar Charging

Anyone had any luck with a solar trickle charger for their 991? I tried one of the Schumacher ones but I don't think it supplied enough current to keep the cigarette lighter socket active. Would like to keep the battery topped off but there's really no facility for charging in my condo parking garage. I wonder if there's a battery I could plug into the cigarette lighter to keep the car charged...

Thanks,
NF

How would you get sun exposure in a parking garage?

I own spots both with and without windows. I don't know how direct the sun is..are you saying it might not be enough exposure? Because I could believe that is an issue. To the OP, I use the schumacher charging panels on my boat lifts and they work great. But again, direct unobstructed sun...and only in the summer.
