I want to get my PC off the grids power; any decent solutions for an apartment that has access to a roof? (lemdit.com)

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.

Definitely will look into the MacBooks power consumption. The logic checks out for sure. I have to measure my current laptops too.
