Used Chevy Volt cells are cheap, cheaper then lead acid, but a pack will tend to be a higher voltage, a DC to DC converter is a good option if you need 12v, the higher voltage can save you money on wire by letting you use smaller size.

The sun is never straight above, in the winter you'll get more sun if the panels are on the side of the van.
