Thank you
Whenever I return home I plug in my cart in the charger. You cannot just rely on the sun. When I'm playing golf and park the cart in the sun I notice that the batteries don't discharge as fast when returning from the course.

I wouldn't think you can install this yourself. Of course you can glue the solar panel to the roof of the cart. However, there is a unit which attaches to the panel and is connected to the batteries. I guess if you were fairly handy you could install this yourself. I just had the unit installed by the company.
