Its an MSI Gaming 6G 980ti. You can have first refusal if I do sell it

I wonder what the efficiency of a 12V DC PV system is compared to a domestic AC system? 1.5KW of panels is about £1500 but I would think the controller to charge batteries from solar or mains at 1.5KW would be prohibitively expensive due to the current. Most of the controllers on ebay are 30A max. It'd need a fair chunk of batteries too. Making BTC from sunlight is an attractive proposal though

I suspect a diesel powered mining rig would not be economically viable, and possibly a bit noisy

Ooh, how about an S8-powered single GPU rig? I'm sure the V8 can spare 300W without really noticing. Generate LTC as you drive about?
