Hi bpounds,

Here is a complete system for under $200 Renogy 100W Mono Starter Kit: 100W Solar Panel+20' Solar Cable+30A PWM Charge Controller+Z Bracket Mounts http://www.amazon.com/Renogy-100W-Mono-Starter-Kit/dp/B00BFCNFRM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1415309399&sr=8-2&keywords=solar+system+100+watts
My personal experience is that, at least where I live, 5 watts would be inadequate to maintain a battery in the winter months. Perhaps nearer the equator that would not be so.
Here is a 90 watt panel for $30

Shipping may be a killer on that item.

The implication that he can get 100W for anywhere near $67 just isn't true. By the time you get all the stuff you're going to need to do an installation like that you'll be looking at $500 minimum.
