Bought a Varta 90Ah 12v leisure battery for 185 euros from Tougher Tyres, N60, Castlebar.

This is for the 60W 12v PV system.

Bought a 60W 12V solar PV array, stand and charge controller

While travelling back from Cork I made an impulse buy in Maplin's of a N23FY 60W Solar Kit for 250 euros

See http://www.maplin.co.uk/60w-solar-power-kit-223250

It looks more substantial than it is. Though the charge controller looks well built and has a LED volt meter for the battery.
