I'm running 10kW of mining gear and ~5kW of grid tied solar. Solar supplies about 10-15% of total daily consumption, in Florida. Realistically, I would need more than a 50-60kW solar array, at minimum, to cover 240kWh daily use. So you either need a shit ton of expensive battery or are going to be grid tied, back feeding to power company most of your generated power, only to buy it back later at a higher price. So you need at least ~6X in solar what your intended load will be if located in a 4 sun/hr geo zone.
