Realistically, you'd want to buy about 9-11 of these panels to offset 8 hours of use of a computer that continuously needs 700w. Then you'd need to spend money on a power bank/DIY battery setup. Expect to need something that would provide 1,200w AC output to account for the inefficiencies of DC to AC inverter and account for the fact that the standard day has about 5 hours worth of peak solar hours. So expect one that has 4-5kWh storage capacity... So for a pre build power station all in one budget brand I like, Pecron, has an F5000lfp power station for $2k. So expect to invest about $3k+ and then your payback period and to the point the average person has covered their cost in energy savings is about 8-12 years. You could spend less if you built a DIY power station with components and that could likely lower the cost by about $500-1k.
I'd also not recommend the portable solar panels if you're doing a more permanent setup. I personally am installing six 100w panels that are rigid, not for power cost savings, but exclusively to get some continued power to my sump pump and fridge in the event of a power outage and emergency use.
It depends if you consider spending $2-3k to save yourself $20-25 a month in energy worthwhile. That also doesn't take into account the costs of mounting panels and setup. So not quite what the average person is likely imagining...
My electricity sucks, the average is $0.29 kwh when I factored in all of the delivery fees service fees etc in the Powe Bill I got.
So 700w machine running 24/7 ends up being 0.29 * 0.7 (700w) 24 * 30 = $146.16
So I was thinking if I can offset that cost but Solar ROI is pretty far also.
