Yes you are...

"I've been looking to extend my Solar system ...
...I currently have the inverter, heater & batteries and 120w solar set-up."

Not to worry. Your maths is good, but your English, not so. :D

Although, I did make a mistake, my current set-up is 60w (keep mistaking it for 120w for some reason).
The 60w panels and controller was picked up from Maplin for around £150.
I apologise for neglecting to mention the requirement for a controller in my previous list.
Looking at a 60A controller today.
