One that has sufficient wattage to match the parasitic load on your batteries. In other words, any panel that is big enough to replace whaever amp-hours are lost every day. That of course assumes you have some reliable amount of direct sunlight each day while in storage. The biggest & most efficient solar panel won't help without direct sunlight for at least a few hours each day.
So, you need to provide some data about how much discharge your batteries suffer while in storage, and how much daily sunshine can be expected. From that you can size a panel (watts).
Note that a battery disconnect on the ground terminal of the battery bank would probably cut the loss to near zero and you might not need any panel at all. But if there is stuff daining power, you might need a big-ass panel placed in full sun so that it can deliver lots of amp hours.
