Solar Powered Battery Charger- Top up

Hi Guys,
I'm looking to fit a solar powered trickle charger on my old XTZ660, I've seen the kind of ones I want, but doesn't say if they are waterproof, and want to fit it permanantley on either a bit of fairing on on top of my top box.

Has anyone got one, used one, heard of one in action or any general advice to give?

All offerings welcome

Shack

Thanks for the info, site didn't let me check the review (I can't help being tight ints in my genes)
I had checked out a few models on the Maplins site, wasn't too sure on the best rating or my beast (one of my reasons for seeking bigger brains
