I want to get my PC off the grids power; any decent solutions for an apartment that has access to a roof? (lemdit.com)

As title says. I think my PC is using like a max of 500w when it's juicing but idles for less. I was thinking of using an ecoflow high grade setup for this. Anyone have experience doing something similar?

I might switch to a small micro tower setup by Dell or Lenovo that uses like 120w max. The new Mac minis seem to cap out at 39w though which is crazy.

It is basically just another Linux laptop. Small caveats with not all software being available for ARM64, but for the most part it works fine. Contrary to the PinePhones there isn't much complicated hardware in these laptops that needs special drivers, wake on notification or other battery-optimizations.
