Has anyone gotten their server rack to run off solar power.
I got the idea after seeing the Anker solix systems on sale at costco and thought what if I could get one of those to power my server rack and have a few rigid solar panels on the roof to charge the battery up during the day and run the server partially during the night off the battery, but switch over to grid power when it runs dry?
Curious if anyone has any experience with that, I’m not looking to do my whole house just my server rack for now, from my limited tracking of my rack it looks like it uses 8kwh a day so it seems possible. Searching online it looks like there are much cheaper battery options than anker
This is a really cool idea! I’d be careful of anker quality. I heard it went downhill some since being bought out. I still use their chargers primarily though.
Oh I didn’t know they were bought out, I always liked their chargers and just got a external battery for my phone, I guess we’ll see
