What are you doing with your spare solar power? (lemmy.world)

I’m curious as to what people are doing with their spare solar power.

I’m in the US and on NEM2. I already have batteries and discharge them when the rates are favorable.

But I still have a lot of leftover juice. My partner recently bought an EV but doesn’t drive much.

I set up a home lab and even bought a small bitcoin miner that turns on when electricity rates are favorable.

I've got a serverrack on the attic, what is spare solar power? ;)

I've been considering getting a battery, but until I'm actually going to any meaningful surplus in power its not really worth the investment for me.

I'm from the EU and got 6 panels for a total of about 2kW on my roof, my house isn't on a optimal angle though, so I'm not often tapping the max capacity.
