Does it hold up in Hilton Head's weather?
Yes. The panel and hardware are outdoor-rated, and the canopy adds shade while it charges. Sun and heat are exactly the conditions it's built for.
Is the install permanent?
No. It clamps on in about 30 minutes with no drilling and no permanent changes, and comes off just as fast. Your warranty stays intact and you can move it to another cart.
Do I still need to plug in?
Sometimes. Solar extends your range and cuts how often you charge, but on heavy-use days it isn't a full replacement for the wall. Think of it as topping off all day, for free, whenever the cart is outside.
