Not a direct comment at the OP, but most people posting are ignoring the cost of electricity. I realize that someone who mines on one or two PCs either doesnt care or doesnt pay (thanks Mom, if you only knew).

That said, right now mining any RandomX coins has very little profit. Im still hashing away at 60KH/s, making a couple dollars a day if Im lucky.

Example...

3700x system getting 8150 H/s @ 126 watts (whole system, at the wall). Where I live, that is $0.40 per day on power and Ill make (as of today) $0.61 on Loki. So, $0.21 per day profit! I can by a coffee a week.

Just hoping the first few weeks after the Monero fork are much more profitable so I can break even, good news is that if Im not I can still sell this stuff. At this rate, 2700 days to break even. Not complaining. I love this shit.

One option many people do not think about is solar power, with the prices getting to be very affordable they even have systems that do not require inspections and install by just plunging into your AC socket. You wont be able to power things full time without batteries, so its more of a way to drop your average cost over time.

Nothing like solar mining

Batteries for storing power could be quite expensive. Is there a way to overproduce the power and let trough grid and in night time take back when needed?

If you go with a grid tied system you can bank unused power but that requires inspections and a greater amount of time to get setup. Right now you are better off buying more solar panels over batteries and just banking your excess power. The other option is buying a system that has no need for inspections to setup and just offsetting your energy costs during the day.
