I have a solar panel on my golf cart. You don't get a great increase in range with a solar panel. I think that my batteries will last a little longer having the solar panel. They are 3 years old and when the cart is standing still on my speedometer it shows 51.2 volts. I think you may see some increase in range. As to whether its worth it my solar panel cost $1700. With the colder weather lately my batteries are losing a charge faster than when the weather is warmer. I try to conserve the batteries by driving slower to "distant" courses which helps.
I can't give you a definitive answer regarding solar panels. I got mine from Solar for Golf Carts at 352-209-2049.
