[ESC]My PC is currently running on solar power
It took me a week to physically assemble and connect all the things. Another week or more of planning. A lot of stuff still needs tweaking. It won't survive winter with my current panels. But it works!
- 500W DC ATX power supply
- 24V LiFePO4 battery pack (~7kWh)
- 500Wp of PV panels on the balcony
- Victron SmartSolar 100/30 MPPT charger
- a lot of peripheral stuff like optional AC->DC charger, DC->AC inverter, tools, cables, connectors, switchboard, DC/DC converters for possible future expansion like powering routers, laptops, USB etc
- logging telemetry from the charger and BMS, Grafana dashboards
I'll definitely write more about all of that hopefully soon.
