Fully charged, it stores 550 Watt hours. The easiest way to think about this is 550 watts for an hour or maybe 100 watts for 5.5 hours.
So, start when you start measuring devices' power usage, you'll see what you can use this battery for.
Examples:
A laptop uses about 30-50 watts idling & A computer is closer to 100 watts.
A fridge is 400 to 800 watts.
AC or space heaters use about 1500 watts.
Also, don't expect a 100 watt panel to produce 100 watts. You should expect maybe 50-70% of the rated wattage.
Something you can do with this solar battery set: You could probably use a laptop + router + cell phone for a full work day with this set.
This battery and solar panel isn't a great deal because Jackery is usually a more expensive brand and a 100 watt solar panel will probably cost around $200.
A generic set with similar specs would probably cost this much daily so you're only really saving on the brand name.

Honestly, the cheapest to get by that would be versatile is a gas propane generator, probably between 500-1000 dollars.
Otherwise if you want to be fuel free, you'll be spending a upwards of couple thousand dollars to 10k+ on good batteries, inverter, and solar if you want.
The only reason getting batteries and solar makes sense is that the solar you generate will offset the cost of the setup and batteries over time.
I'll add that a friend of mine added solar to their house along with tesla batteries because of the unstable power in the area. No gas lines in the area so a propane generator was out of the question. With the money he's saving from solar and the fact that he also runs his business from the house and can write it off, i think he said 8 years to break even.
