Hey man, I feel you on the power struggle with all the computing equipment and air conditioning. It's a tricky balance, especially when you want to keep those F@H GPUs running smoothly. Have you considered upgrading your solar power system to handle more power? I found this helpful link that might help you figure out how much solar energy you need to run a refrigerator: <snip> It could also give you some ideas on handling your power needs for your equipment. Good luck!
Lol .. have you seen Syo's solar threads?

House is net negative, office is off grid, so net zero... ignoring production emissions for the panels/batteries.

I'm upgrading my office battery bank soon, though. The lead is getting long in the tooth, and while it's still behaving, I'd rather replace it before it fails, so I'm going to get a LFP bank in the conditioned space and that should let me run an awful lot more 24/7 compute in here.

... of course, there are no projects to crunch on. WCG is down, CPDN is down, Rosetta@Home is running rapidly out of WUs...

I have plenty of gpugrid, WCG, and yoyo work.
