So cool… next year it’d be awesome to use a hydropower pump storage system as the battery

Very interesting. It leaves me with a bunch of intriguing questions. Is this 20 panels to run a PC with a GPU card? Is that the data center? What were the power requirements? What do the panels deliver? What's the A/C for? To stop the computer from overheating? Which uses more power, the A/C or the computer? Thanks!

Solar is 8kWp, compute uses most and tops out around 800W

Would love to hear more about how the batteries are performing after the sun sets and other details.
