Can a solar panel be used as a NiCd cordless tool battery charger?

I can't figure out how to charge a Ni Cd (B&D 18V Firestorm) battery directly with a solar panel so I've come up with an alternative which might or might not work. I thought I would connect an inverter (I found a nice 400W for $30) to my trucks battery and plug the B&D Firestorm battery charger into the inverter. Then I was thinking I could use a 5W solar panel to trickle charge the truck battery and keep it connected after the Ni Cd is charged to ensure the truck battery is topped off. the truck would not be running during this process. will this solution work? Is there a better solution?

Two of those solar panels connected in series will easily charge a 18V battery. I would not even be concerned about over voltage the solar cells will have plenty of internal resistance.
