Adding some PV Panels

I know a lot of people toy with idea of juicing up their bot with some solar panels. I like most of you am going to try it. I’m a networking nerd, not an electronics nerd. But i’m learning something new everyday. I drew this up from my basic understanding of how a trickle charge might work.

Any insight as to whether this will even work would be much appreciated.

Oops, i just realized i have the bot board and sabertooth backwards. The sabertooth is the one that requires the 12v battery.
