Has anyone had a solar panel fitted to a caravan fitted with the i touch system?

My local dealer will not fit a panel to any caravan fitted with this system as they tell me the solar panel regulators can cause a "spike" that fuses the wireless i touch control panel. They tell me that Bailey and Whale know about the issue which does not exactly help. I don't understand this as a battery in the circuit should smooth out any spikes but they are adamant and I am no expert.

Has anyone had this combination fitted?  If so, what happened?

Thanks in anticipation
