How many watts do you get from that?

It’s 400w worth of panels for ~$200. These are newer bifacial panels, so in theory you can get even more than that with the light that hits the back of the panel. Getting around 400w is still like best case scenario on the brighter summer day though. Shade and time of year matter a lot. If you’ve got just one panel covered with just a single leaf - it’ll probably take that panel’s output down to <%20. You won’t see much output during winter or cloudy/rainy days either.
