Just add one more solar panel and your server is powered. This assumes you can sell excess production at wholesale rates (like we do here in Sweden). If you can not sell power and you're a tinkerer there's ways to build battery storage which can power both the lab as well as the house using a wide variety of batteries. Used EV batteries are one source, used LiFePO4 standby power supply packs another. This is the way we'll go if/when it is no longer possible to sell excess production. Until such a time well enjoy our negative electricity bills, we have not had a positive bill since installing the PV array even though there's a DL380G7 with a DS4246 storage array running 24/7 under the stairs.
