I'm in the very early stages of my solar project taking small steps and doing all the install myself. I bought two Crown CR-240 6 volt batteries for $135 each new and wired them in series. Based on what I have read they are some of the best wet cell batteries around and U.S. made. Just this past weekend I added a TM-2030-RV battery monitor.
Your TM-2030 married to a SC-2030 from bogart engineering as well would make a great solar charge controller for a smaller (30 amp or less) system. I initially installed mine with 500 watts of panels, but have just added a 6th panel to take me up to 600 watts. With flat mounted panels, it seems to be a good match. Be advised though the SC 2030 controller is only a good option with the so called 12 volt panels which tend to be slightly more expensive per watt than some of the bigger panels out there. I paid $1.10 for mine with tax delivered.
