SLA hates low temperatures, though. Engine-start batteries are not ideal for solar trickle charging. Exposed terminals shorting can be a fire risk.
Anything DC can be a fire risk: remember those "my macbook charger cable caught fire" things from a few years ago? One of the reasons that domestic solar was so slow to catch on in the USA was that Underwriters Laboratories (the insurer's safety company) wouldn't let DC wiring near a roof because DC arcs never quench
