What it MIGHT do that's potentially at least as useful -- IF you park mostly
in the sun --- is dribble a little charge back into the battery when the car
isn't being driven. That'll improve battery cycle life a bit. Calculating
whether the resulting battery cost savings will offset the cost of the PV
panel will be left as an exercise for the reader. ;-)
On the other hand, if you only use your golf cart lightly only on the
weekends, it may be able to recharge it the rest of the week.
