I'm interested in a solar setup also, what's needed for say 2 AntMiner S3+'s (let's say 850watts)? 

I run 4 S3s on a solar setup.
For a properly working system you need an MPPT charge controller.
A good one will cost around $200.
Then need solar panels of total 1500W for you to run 2 S3. That will cost another $1000 (Not DIY).
DIY Panels are cheap, but I will not recommend it for professional installations like for mining.
Now Solar Cable, Fuses, MCBs and other Misc. electrical components costs around $200.
Mounting stands for solar panels: $200
Total it will become $2000+ if you are doing it yourself.
Else if you are handing over the solar project to an agency/company it will cost above $5000.

Do your ROI now. Solar setup is expensive.

Do you have your list off components and where to buy them >>
Thank.

For a solar setup the below components are required.

Solar Panels
Charge Controller(s) (MPPT Prefered)
Inverters (AC-AC or AC-DC-AC)
Battery Bank (and their maintenance equipments)
Solar Cables (Costly)
Fuses/MCB/ELCBs and other electrical components

You can get these from directly from manufacturer or dealer or ebay.
Better source directly from manufacturer is possible.
