Saw them first in Ireland some years ago. Neat and rather expensive was my thought.

DIY is the way to go. There is a good thread here on TFF somewhere, on sizing panels and pumps etc.

Have a look on eBay and/or Amazon for starters. The nice thing about building your own, is that you then understand it, and what to do when it goes wrong.... and it will!!
