Schumacher 54 watt solar kit

Found this today! Sale on 54 watt solar panel kit.
If you give them your email you also get an extra 15% off. Shipping rates are a little high on the site but still not bad for a solar kit that normally retails for $130 elsewhere they claim it's worth $491.99.

So how long would it take to pay for itself?

18W per panel seems like a waste of space, isn't it?

$19 shipping for me

if there's like a copuon (30%) or smaller coupon + free shipping, maybe worth it.

This isn't for the home. 54 Watts is tiny. This could be useful for powering some lights or charging a phone/tablet/laptop.

The panels appear to be only like a foot wide, so they're not giant panels.

The value here is with all of the parts. It comes with light cables. The 3 panels give flexibility. I was tracking prices for large solar panels at about 100 bucks for 100 watts.
In this case paying about 30 bucks for all of the other parts seems reasonable.
A good buy of you need the flexibility.

shipping and taxes make this 94 after coupon code.

makes this an ok deal

Never a bad idea to indicate the sale price in the title OP. Or at least somewhere in your post.

Assuming 8 hours of sun per day and $0.10 / kWh, approximately 1800 days or 4.93 years.
