I have noticed on really sunny days there's no way in he!! I'm going to see the alternator light come on, it's just not that obvious.
I have a Passport 8500 radar detector that you can put into a mode that sends off a very loud alarm that instantly sounds if the voltage ever drops below 12v while driving (aka alternator failure). While driving, it just displays alternator voltage. Very cool.

The radar detector not only saves me from the police, but it may save my engine!
