Went to Fry's electronics this weekend...

and they now sell 100 watt solar panels for $699.99.

not only that but they also two types to choose from.

Beyond that they had several panels in various sizes and shapes for smaller applications.

Also, they had a solar car battery charger. That was pretty cool.

just passing this along.

4. $7/W is high

IIRC you should be able to find panels for closer to $5/W.
