My 360W panels have never produced more than 320Wh in a day (converted to petrol that's 0.02l per day or about $10 a year!), the part where it really gets to be a gimmick is when they mount the panels vertically on the sides of the car, probably producing an average of 2% of their rated output
Of course that $0.37/W doesn't count mounting, controllers and wires. My install using best practice and quality parts cost around $1000. Cheap panels fail long before payback, expensive panels might too.
