You need battery storage options, and that isn't cheap, but its way cheaper now than they were 2 years ago.
Also, try to stay in a 12v mindset for optimum bang for the buck in battery storage. i.e. fans, led lights, etc. RV style refrigerators coolers, etc.
The problem is the batteries. Cold and high heat really shorten their life span / charge cycles, or flat out kills them.
Dealing with the heat is easy - keep them out of direct sunlight. Cold, no getting around that but taking them indoors.
Lots, and lots of youtube vids out there for off grid living.
I've had small scale solar here for 15 years, first lead acid and now upgraded to Lifepo4 I put together. I use it frequently to charge phones and batteries everyday. You're looking at about $500 on top of the panel to do much with solar. Very little if you can just run your lights directly off a battery.
I agree with the other poster that it's far easier to use 12 volt devices, but for mine I also have it as a small power backup -just in case- so I have to have an AC inverter.
Once you start moving beyond just these lights you need a bigger and bigger battery.
I'm really tempted to pick up one of these panels, but I sort of decided I wasn't going beyond 300 watts with anything in a 12 volt size.
TLDR: 100W panels were ok 10 years ago but aren't the standard anymore and there is a reason why everyone is clearancing out of them!

I was thinking to have a eco flow river 2. It has a clean look. Light weight. And I was thinking to hang it inside near the top of gazebo. I have to be a little innovative there. This battery has inbuilt charge controller and inverter too.
I don't need this setup during extreme cold weather so plan is to move the battery inside during winter season.
Will it work ?

Anything I need to know before hooking them up: someone mentioned fuses?
