I was at a Walmart recently where a guy was checking out the panels in the automotive department. The biggest capacity one was something like 20A.
You probably meant 20W. 20A is a lot of solar.
OTH, to live generator-free on 70 AH a day, even in Mexico, you need roughly 20A system, i.e. 300W - 350W. Rain in winter in Mex is unlikely, though cloudy days are, and the battery bank should be around 300 AH.
AM solar is an expensive store, though they have some unique items.
We had a great experience at AM Solar. It is expensive but I think top notch. We wrote all about it on these blog posts at our site:
