My solar covers more than my entire electric bills in the mild weather months.

I was thinking of moving to more modern systems with modest power consumption too. One of the systems I picked up is basically a case-as-a-heatsink with no fans.

    My electric bill last month was $15. It eventually is financially worth it.

    Don't know how hard you went on your home lab, I use office rather than datacenter equipment and it's quite and plenty for my needs. For my professional test/dev needs I have such equipment at work, so I don't need to home train on gear for the sake of competence in the field.

    15 bucks is impressive, yes...i just currently don't care very much for the bills. Dunno even if solar would be great here, we're not on the overly sunny side 😁

    I don't work (and never really did), so home is all there is. Office surely is enough most of the time, especially considering I wouldn't want to pay license fees or be online with stuff. Professional stuff can be pretty shitty in that regard. So I use whatever fits my criteria best.

    It grew more and more to be honest, and it already comes close to be a part-time job that costs money and has no salary 😑
