My two bob's worth.
Get a grossly oversized panel Eg 25 or 40 watts. Mount it vertically so that is gets very poor illumination in summer. I know that the sun is pretty low at noon in winter, so it should just about maximise the winter energy capture. If it over charges the battery in summer, put some shade cloth (or your wife's lace undies) over it to reduce the exposure to the sun.
