Hi Arthur,
Many thanks for getting in touch.
The solution you suggest will work absolutely fine to keep your car battery charged. You may want to consider purchasing suction cups as well so the solar panel can be attached to the inside of the windscreen glass (these help to improve the angle of the solar panel to the sun if the windscreen is South facing).

We have all of the products above in stock here and ready for quick despatch. We will send by courier on a next working day service. Some parcels are being slightly delayed (typically by no more than a day) due to Covid-19 issues but we have had very few delays reported and parcels seem to be arriving on time.
I hope that this helps.
Kind regards
Bill
