I do actually have 3KW solar array which, even with the S3 running 24/7, still manages to fully charge my battery bank daily when the sun is shining which is most days here in the Algarve. So, I am not paying the electric company as such but just recovering some of the initial solar investment I made 3 years ago plus I might end up with a bitcoin or two by the time the difficulty doubles again I believe middle of next year. I turn the unit off on cloudy days to divert max energy to battery charging. Once the warmer weather returns in March I will put the S3 back in my workshop don't need the added heat in my room then.

And you're making use of the heat, thats pretty nice. How much do the solar array and the battery bank cost? And hold long does the battery bank last?
