Hi Guys
Long time and I'm glad to be back. I used to have a nice little set-up running x13 Newpacs's and x2 R606 pods on x2 Pi4's at a stable 3.4TH/s for weeks at a time. I have retired most of the equipment, but looking to get back into it under solar power. Has anyone done this, are there any good links within the fourm and is this actually sustainable 24/7 with the correct set-up? I was planning on x2 12v 100Ah batteries in parallel, a 600W solar panel, 60A charge controller and a 3000W inverter. I will only be running x1 Pi4 and x1 GS hub for now.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

okay use a 5 for low and a 6 for high
5 x 600 = 3000
6 x 600 = 3600
the gear will provide 3.0 to 3.6 kwatts over 24 hours
so 3.60/24 = 150 watts max power 24/7/365
or 3.00/24 =125 watts more likely 24/7/365
So you can do a bit of gear a few usb sticks maybe 4 or 5 sticks.
or maybe 1 apollo at 110 watts.
Think you're off there mate. You're assuming the sun shines 24 hours a day, producing 5*600watts = 3000watts * 24hours = 72kilowatt-hours in the full 24 hours of sun. Actual solar production will vary but I promise it won't happen all day long -
