For a kit, that is a pretty reasonable price. I have seen $399 kits with only a 50 watt panel.
You can buy a 100 - 150 watt solar panel from this place, and look for a 12 volt nominal volt panel, and use a PWM controller. Then mount it to the roof, and practically forget it is up there. You can expand the system as needed too! And attached, it is much less likely to be forgotten or stolen.

Or you can get twice the amps per day by thinking about the portable one and moving it with the sun as your flat mounted panel that you forgot about stops producing. :B
