You could power that from a solar cell without need for a charge
controller or external regulator.  How many Amperes do the boards
require? how many Amp Hours do the batteries hold, at what voltage?

Per a bicycle dynamo, a bridge recitifier such as is found in an
automotive alternator would make that a smooth DC current supply.
