As title says. I think my PC is using like a max of 500w when it’s juicing but idles for less. I was thinking of using an ecoflow high grade setup for this. Anyone have experience doing something similar?
I might switch to a small micro tower setup by Dell or Lenovo that uses like 120w max. The new Mac minis seem to cap out at 39w though which is crazy.
Or a laptop, those are crazy efficient, have a battery, and can deal with outages. I don’t know anything about solar but perhaps there is a special solution for lower voltages? Remove the transformer from your laptop. For example there’s solar for charging phones, and perhaps that works for laptops too.
A laptop with USB-C charging is probably the best option by far.
The setup would be solar panel —wire—> battery -----usb-c cable -----> laptop.
This will be way more efficient than trying to power a full desktop setup.
