Great deal on a 100w solar panel for TCs, but today only

Sorry, I just saw this on Home Depot.com, and it ends today. A 100watt (5.56amp max) Grape Solar panel for $100. These are close to double elsewhere. They also have pwm charge controllers on sale. ...

I am a bit rusty on panel sizes but I think this a kind of large for the wattage. Limited real estate on our roofs.

As solar panel inefficiencies improve, the panel size becomes smaller. Older, larger panels will become sale items as they are either discontinued or pushed out for the smaller more efficient panels.

I am aware of that hence why I posted, a person would be better served with one or two of the higher wattage panels (with the same footprint) was my point.
