Note that this is $2/watt, far more expensive than other offerings.

For example:

That panel, 3.3' x 2.2', is 100 Watts for $80, or $0.80/watt. This price 
is low-average in terms of $/watt and the panel is pretty small. Not a 
backpacker's delight, but definitely enough to cart around for remote 
operation.
