I've not purchased panels with only a 100W nameplate, but from what I've seen most are more expensive than this one. I agree that $1 per watt is on the high side, but to get lower than that you need to buy something bigger than 100W, right?That's honestly kinda expensive per watt.

Good eye! That makes it a little better.Includes a small charge controller by the looks of it. Might explain the not-so-great price/watt
Yup...I've actually used a couple of those Coleman SCC's. They suck. No float, no bulk, nothing but straight 12.8v out all the time.
$10 PWM much better choice!Mppt far better choice...
I can’t remember how to tell but isn’t that a poly panel?Here is a pic of the panel with the price...View attachment 84058
The blue tones of the product photo lead me to think that myself.I can’t remember how to tell but isn’t that a poly panel?
For $10 this could be also an easy way to test individually each PV of an array?$10 PWM much better choice!
Actually, the controller outputs 14.8V I installed one on my car, and achieved 97ish watts into the battery.I've actually used a couple of those Coleman SCC's. They suck. No float, no bulk, nothing but straight 12.8v out all the time.
Odd... my 2 never put out more than 12.8 regardless of what the sun was doing or the battery SoC. I've since replaced 1 of them and the other is scheduled for replacement when I get to camp and re-vamp the outdoor shower.Actually, the controller outputs 14.8V I installed one on my car, and achieved 97ish watts into the battery.
