I think you can get the same solar panel for quite a lot less on Amazon if anyone's looking to make this. It's £30 at Maplin, but only £23 with free delivery at Amazon UK.

Does the solar panel have a built in charge controller or are you connecting it directly.

I believe the solar panel has a build in charger controller.
