You can, but it is not the best choice. You will need a charge controller to avoid overcharging the battery and if your solar panel is to maintain a battery not used often, you should be ok. But if you're looking for an "off the grid" type power supply, your best bet is with a good charge controller and a good AGM (absorbed Glass Mat) battery such as a DEKA brand battery from East Penn Manufacturing.

Can batteries be recharged by sun exposure?
No, unless you have custom-made rechargeable batteries. It might be possible to build a battery with a built-in solar panel, but it probably wouldn't fit on a "regular" AA battery. It would take a car, or other similarly sized, battery to fit a solar panel. It might also be possible to make a device with that uses solar panels to recharge smaller batteries. But leaving a regular battery in the sun will not recharge it.
