The last one with the Raspberry Pi is my site. I've just added another whole page doing some of the napkin math regarding efficiencies and power usage. Looks like I'm going to need some more panels and batteries to run reliably!

EDIT: Heres the new section - http://randomcontent.wolfnexus.net/RandomSite/solar-powering-a-raspberry-pi-for-bitcoin-mining/solar-powering-a-raspberry-pi-for-bitcoin-mining-part-2/

Don't think I've made any mistakes in my math, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

Well, I now have my BFL Jalapeno ASICs mining on solar power. I brought them online five or six hours ago and so far they have been stable while running mostly on the charged battery. Also gathered some data on direct power consumption, and ways of recovering degraded sealed lead-acid batteries (yes, it happens!)
So, here is part three! Enjoy! Any queries or comments, feel free to ask here or on the comments section on the page.
