Idk I have cheap electricity, 7c day 6 night so I just have it on its own
129kWh/month (approx $10.2)
…100% solar powered…
In eu for 35$ wish to have usa prices
Next step: a home battery for night usage… (or can you compensate night usage with solar too? In that case: lucky you! (Where I live this is now impossible, so i bought a battery))
My entire server rack uses about 150wh so 24/7 it calculates out to about 11.50 USD
Similar wattage, but that calculates to about 44€ per month cries in german electricity costs
Currently drawing that daily… sometimes a lot more…
atm im not running much since not much time to lab, just the base stack.
about 35€/mo for 650w average consumption.
Please share your setup that you’ve used to achieve these figures. I am interested!
Is an Athlon 3000G +16GB ram and only ssd. A very basic setup. I downsized and killed my second hosy to save energy. https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/SQY5S8HM2b
Way beyond. Germany.
My lab is around 65-70W, thats Router + Switch + Server (Ryzen 3600 + 3x 3.5"HDD)
oddly 48 port 1gb switch was eating more power then thread ripper builds(2 of them)
i went to a fanless netgear 24 port switch for 25 bucks.
was 30 extra on top of Normal bill.
this will cut bill down by 20 alone.
Old PoE switch? I have some 3750s that don’t see regular action because they’re loud, hot, and powerhungry
I pay 12€ a month for ~60W :(
mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month!
Cries in German 0.44 USD per kWh …
Paying 27,23 USD for my 85W NAS (which I need to bring down badly …) per month. Waiting for a new bill on solar power on your balcony early 2024. Lookin into buying 800W panels and a battery. Should help bring down the operational cost tremendeously.
Yeah I moved to the 2 NAS approach. I use a thincentre m910q as live system for frequent use and 1TB of SSD storage and my old NAS as Cold storage with 40TB, which is not that frequently used and only turned on to backup active data and retrieving data which I need again
I know the feeling. 0.44€ in Ireland as well. I use about 500W continuously which is probably around €150/month (we pay lower rates at night for 7 hours). This is a far cry from two years ago when I was running 800-900W at 0.17€/kWh
I have 0.37 euros per kWh but I am crazy enough to be using 210watts.
Was sollen sonst nur die Nachbarn denken ;)
Bittte… Verbund Österreich :(
Zeit for another Anschluß?
Genau!
Kleine PV ab Februar 24!
Und los! xD
Running 5 dell r730XD with a ton of networking gear and ip cameras, I’m pulling about 5000 watts or 120kwh a day. Roughly $600 a month in power. YIIIPPEEEEEE
UPS load - 50W average. 13¢/KW. About $4.8/month
About 300W, ~7kWh a day, costs me about $80 AUD a month.
What are you using to view and chart your power usage?
