10KW+ of solar could help ;)
You only need about 1kW to run a local inference machine. Even a 5kW array is overkill if you are using it during sunlight hours.
Weather.
If you want 1KW reliably off grid (24/7 with 24kwh battery) (let’s assume 5 hrs solar insulation) you’ll need around 20kw of panels. Even then, you’ll have occasional shortages in inclement weather.
If you are on the grid (theoretically unlimited battery, just averaging over the year) you’ll need 4.8 kw of panels.
Batteries are the hard part of solar.

I am lucky that weather is not a problem here, and yes we are grid connected. So I am 100% net positive on solar inference with 5kW.

Angle of incidence, time of the year, daylight hours, battery charging.
