Yeah, the big concern for me is a price spike that I can’t scale load to avoid. I don’t own this house, so I can’t add something like solar or meaningful battery storage to it as far as I know; I’ve pondered about running the servers from stored power, though, I might look into it again
I feel a ups battery and a smart outlet should be able to do something in that situation but it probably wouldn’t be cost efficient.
Just realized I don’t know how variable spot pricing works if you have solar and are potentially a producer of net power at certain times. Get credit at spot price? Some flat rate? No credit at all?
