Bought this last time, pretty good output even on my balcony w/ a 20' run of 12 gauge, charges at ~150W on a normal day.
Very handy that it has essentially a USB hub built right in for DC-DC charging, in addition to the MC4-style cables for compatibility.
Be aware though that this is bigly, unfolds to 9 feet.

Long and short, that's not going to be feasible at this scale. This type of panel is really suitable for someone charging a battery that they will use over the next day or three for very limited off-grid stuff like recreation, camping, etc.

The solar is actually much simpler than it seems

Here's the most basic setup.
You need something to collect the sun's energy. That's your solar panel.
You need something to store the collected energy for use now or later. That's a battery.
Then you need something that can safely take the energy from the solar panels and convert it to a voltage safe for your battery. That's the charge controller.
Then you need a way to get the energy out of the battery to your appliance or device. That's the inverter. It converts DC energy from the battery into alternating current at the correct voltage.

These little solar panels are good for charging power stations or your own DIY battery storage things. Let's say you're a car camping person. You might have a power station like an ecoflow or some diy option doing the same thing. You use it for a laptop, coffee maker, hot water kettle, lighting or induction cooktop. But you need to charge that battery. This panel will let you do that.

The other scenario: you live in a place prone to disasters. Like fires, hurricanes, earthquakes or ice storms. You don't always need power, but you might to keep devices charged, run a radio, TV, lights, or something. In that case, you would charge the battery from the wall when the weather watch happened, and if it gets bad you'll use the battery and solar panel in conjunction to power things and recharge the battery. If you had to shelter in place, you might like having a gas-free, generator free way to have some limited lighting or a fan.

The final use that *might* have a shorter payback would be if your power company has time of use where some hours of the day are really expensive. If you had a suitable battery and inverter to where you could power a heat pump or window AC unit for that 4-6 hour window, while charging the battery at the cheap times or in the sun, it might work out okay.

You'd need maybe 8-12 years before the payback on a large scale solar system would breakeven. This type of system will never breakeven.

Completely Shattered? Nope. These aren't made of glass. They are fiberglass . They don't shatter. crack? break? sure. but completely shattered? nope. not even if driven over with a car.

Guess I should have waited to buy these. I got this one and the 220 watt version for about $140 each. I tested them out my delta 2 and in full sun they pulled in almost 400 watts!!
Do you have a preference between the 200W or 220W Renogy panels?

Depends on your use case. The 200 watt has USB charging ports where the 220 does not. If I was just going to get one I would get the 200 watt as its folds up smaller and has the USB ports.

Portability = 200W, lay on the ground or roof, 220W is fine.

Kinda. These are sold on Amazon for near $200 if not over, and about in the range for the similar on Aliexpress, but this is from a legit seller and so far proven. I have 2 of it so far, all are rocking, won't mind ordering more.

Why's that?
It's bulky and heavy, definitely out of fashion, lack of that techno fancy sleek look Gen Z is obsessed about. You know how it is, predictable is an understatement. Heck, they're more predictable than a reinforce learning AI model, LOL

Does the 200w come with cables? Sounds like the 220w doesn't… although one I bought via Wally last year did have cables.

Got one of these last go as well. Very happy with it. Get about 20.6v max, and puts out around 180 watts peak. The kickstands on the back are kind of a joke, and you'll need an extension to work with. I put powerpole plugs on mine since that's what I use on my battery box for solar input. Pick up a 10' 10AWG powerpole to XT premade extension on Amazon for like $15. You can't make it for that price. Folds up to about the size of a 2'x3' square, maybe 1" thick. Easily packable. The 10' extension and the stock pigtail all fit into the zipper pouch on the back of the solar panel.

It's an outstanding deal at this price and the output is more than sufficient for my needs.

I cant answer that. I can just tell you fiberglass doesn't completely shatter like glass can. Thats why they build things like boat hulls with it. Could you imagine a boat hull completely shattering like glass? Boat hulls can definetily crack, but shattering like glass is not something they do.... ever. Fiberglass, despite the word glass being in it, won't shatter like glass can. Crazy I have to even explain this. LOL
