Yes. I'm mainly looking for options for the charge controller and batteries part. (Preferably good, reliable and cost-effective.) I already found a solar panel, and I don't necessarily need an inverter and 230V AC. I think something like 12V would be fine for some applications, if I got battery monitoring and over-discharge prevention.

@hendrik What is this Powerbstation thing? Its just solar panels + charge controller + batteries and some cables. If you must get an inverter but use it only when you absolutely must. Much better is Dc to Dc conversion for most electronics.

@hendrik Yup. Just look online for the millions of people who have put together a MPTT charge controller which will do everything with what ever their budget supports, lead acid or the more expensive deep cycle batteries. Good thick cables from panels to controller and battery are important.
We put 1200watts on our bus roof. Spend your money on as many panels as possible and a controller to support them first then add battery capacity as you can afford it if money an issue.
