You can google around to find what a system like his costs, the panels are not the only cost , you also need a controller/inverter and a battery bank. And the more load (ac/dc powered appliances, air conditioners) and such, the bigger the system needed.
The life of a well made and maintained solar panel can exceed 30 + years.
Trying too get back on track, solar powered e-readers and such for direct operation or more likely recharging use. Is a very good option for those that live in sunny areas of the world. And using the right size and type, one could even capture power from inside lighting for recharging/using your devices.
