FYI Basic Solar Kit from Costco
Seems like a good DIY deal with all you get. 4 100w polycrystalline panels, 2000w PSW inverter, and looks like a Xantrex Trace C35Amp controller. http://www.costco.com/.product.100111497.ht...

Mono panels are smaller in foot print than Poly panels are. Both my mono panels (220w and 245w) are smaller than my 230w poly. I haven't tested the 245w panels in low light but I do know the 230w poly will continue to produce in much lower light than the 220w mono.
That said, at that low of light output is very low and without a battery bank to sustain you, a few cloudy days will have you on a generator which ever panel you get.
Possible of interest. SolarBlvd sent me a email that they have their 230w panels on sale for $149. Pretty soon I wont need to shop craigslist, just buy new.
