Solar charging

Dear Members

Can I use a solar panel to charge my evolution mount.
Is it as simple as connecting the mc4 plugs from the PV to the mount via a mc4 to 5.5x2.1mm jack adaptor?

I was thinking of using a 30w panel which outputs a max 2.2amps. Is there a restriction on PV panel size? I.e. Could I potentially supply too much current....The PV panel is rated at 12v but can have up to 18v. Will that fry the evo battery?

Thanks in advance

Hemi
