Battery Tender has a full line of solar chargers from 5 watt to 35 watt charging capabilities. You can also get a simple splitter when needed for two batteries, obviously your charging rate is cut in half for each battery.

If you go over a 10 watt panel, I would recommend you also get their solar controller to keep your batteries from over charging.
