If you want something to keep you topped up (and depending on your usage) a 100w minimum would be where i would start. Kits can be had for just a little more money if you shop around. Full kits go on amazon for $150 all day long.
I very much agree with this. This particular kit from experience (Brother in law has two of these) loses about 15-20% efficiency on transfer which makes one panel really only decent for a top up on any parasitic draw you might have. Considering you can get a good 100w kit for about $120-$140 on amazon with a good charge controller this kit solo becomes less desirable.
I will point out however that this comes with a shit load of accessories and is built really well. If you getting 2 or 3 of these i think it makes a lot more sense and isn't a bad investment.
