27 rigid solar panels at a checked price under $200.
Under $200 buys a single mid-sized glass or aluminum-framed panel, enough for a small cabin, shed, RV roof or a modest battery bank. Efficiency and wattage per dollar can be strong, but warranties are shorter and the panels are often a lesser-known brand with limited support.
Check the voltage and connectors against your charge controller, and the physical dimensions against your mounting space. Look at the temperature coefficient and whether the frame and glass are rated for snow and wind loads. Cheap panels can be a good value, but confirm the maker lists real specs and an honest warranty.
