There are solar options for charging a 12V5AH breakaway battery. You could use the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. This charger includes an input for connecting a solar panel without the need of a regulator. The attached photo shows how to connect a solar panel and how to connect the charger to the battery.

The yellow input wire is for the solar panel. I've attached a video to help with the installation to make it easy.
