Unless you have no mains power on site, a good quality 240v smart maintenance charger is a safer bet. I can recommend C-tek and the 0.8 amp model is not expensive either to buy or run.

Having looked into this option of the solar panel, I have decided that I will use my Ravenset Mains charger, about 55 years old and still working. It was made when GB could make anything. According to battery manufactures it is not really the right type for today’s batteries but it still seems to charge the batteries up.

I bought mine for my first car, a Triumph Renown Razor Edge Saloon 2litre engine. Only part that is no longer there is the little plug that you change over for 6 or 12 volt use. Matchsticks work just as well to hold the fuse wire in place.The matchsticks are around 40 years old. Waste not want not.
