Go to a marine store and buy an oversized battery box and put a regulator inside. Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all solution because of differing light and temperature conditions. You should size you batteries, regulators, and PV for your needs to be sure you have the proper amount of storage and generation. Otherwise, you are just wasting your $...
Don't get me wrong, solar is a great solution, but it is expensive - do it right!
