   Hopefully that's 180 mA.

   You'd want a diode in there to prevent the charger from "charging" your
solar panels.

   Alternatively, if you're good with a soldering iron, you could try to use
the unused adapter input of the PCF50633. Please see figure 4 and/or figure
38 in the PCF50633 user manual. The adapter input is not used on the
Freerunner.

   You might want to ask questions like this on the hardware list.
