Solar trickle charger

Hi all

I've recently replaced the starter and house battery with expensive Optima blues and I'm very motivated to make sure they're kept in good condition.

From April to October I'll keep the boat in a trailer park without power facilities, so to make sure the batteries are healthy when I need them to be and to prolong their life, I'm considering a solar reg with a small panel.

Any advise on the best way to approach this or vendors to try out?

Optimate make nice mains powered trickle chargers so I expect their solar one is good as well.
