atm im not running much since not much time to lab, just the base stack.
about 35€/mo for 650w average consumption.
129kWh/month (approx $10.2)
...100% solar powered...
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))
Currently drawing that daily… sometimes a lot more…
Idk I have cheap electricity, 7c day 6 night so I just have it on its own
My entire server rack uses about 150wh so 24/7 it calculates out to about 11.50 USD
Ops monthly cost is my daily cost.
Mine is ~26w, two arm based SBC jetson nano and an rk3399 NanoPC T4, three laptop usb hdd, a 1gig switch and one of my mesh routers all connected to one smartplug. Running Home Assistant, Frigate, PhotoPrism, DoubleTake/Deepstack, Nginx reverse proxy.
Cost £0.27/Kwh 2470.026*0.27=£1.33 per week
my apartment recently had some renovations done and the worker today asked my if my electric bill was high.. yea .. kind of.. I replied.
. "well your apartment was much warmer compared to all your neighbours..." go figure.
Heh. ~275W at $0.11/kWh. I'm at about $24/month. But that's network and server combined. Server only uses about 125W.
3 UPS's read 350ish Watt all day 24/7/365 and thats just from my main rack
Add another 400 watts for my proxmox cluster (5 node one being an ML360g6 for 200watts)
And then another 150ish watts for my computer desk with 2 laptops and 6 monitors
Did i say i live in an apt and DONT pay for electric :)
Instead of sharing power usage, share the equipment you're using to lower Watt usage.
17 watts. HP 800 g1
What are you using to view and chart your power usage?
Mine is sadly over an order of magnitude higher than this...
About 300W, ~7kWh a day, costs me about $80 AUD a month.
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
My lab is around 65-70W, thats Router + Switch + Server (Ryzen 3600 + 3x 3.5"HDD)
UPS load - 50W average. 13¢/KW. About $4.8/month
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
Bittte... Verbund Österreich :(
I have 0.37 euros per kWh but I am crazy enough to be using 210watts.
Was sollen sonst nur die Nachbarn denken ;)
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
u/Positive-Gazelle2603 Specs?

I downsized and killed Host2. Now only host1 is an always on server.
My last lab was 10-15kw, working on lab v2 in a new house and hoping to get that way down. No Vmax this time so fingers crossed haha
Vmax like EMC SAN? Wow I didn't know people have those in their homes hahaha good luck!
Kindof painful to see you paying 6 cents where I pay 39😓
Some specs to go alongside this would help with perspective. I'm running at 65W and have 2x 6TB spinning drives in mirror. 2 ssds for OS and a crap celeron
Mine is an Athlon 3000G with 3 drives 4TB mix of M.2 and sata SSD. No spining rust. All in ZFS mirrors. I use monitoring for telegram notifications and email to know when some drive wears out and I need a replacement.
That's nice! How could you do that,plz share your set up! thanks!
Here https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/SQY5S8HM2b I downsized it to only host1 moved all there, now Host2 is a gaming PC and main utility pc. I shutdown or suspend it everyday. Host1 is the only alwayson server now.
Btw, the grafana + prometheus setup is very cool you can even get alerts rp ur email and phone. I'd probably do a tutorial for how to do it since grafana dpcumentation is a bit confusing at times.
55w idle ~105w high load.
Currently about 3.2kw - 3.5kw on average. And $0.06/kwh USD for power.
60W 24/7 which costs about € 11,- per month
Due to high energy prices I'm barely using the server I built back in 21 (would draw an additional 100-120W). And my NAS only runs during backup. The 60W are basic networking stuff (router, switch, ...) and 3 Raspberry Pi 4B which run all of my stuff now.
About 10W, as I was looking for a power efficient CPU when I bought the server. So 7kWh a month, a little bit over 2€/month.
I have been using a j5005 with 16GB Ram, 40TB attached storage (the harddrives are spun down when not in use) for the last five years and so far I never had the impression that I need to upgrade.
The Gemini lake series supports only 8GB Ram officially, but apparently up to 32GB are possible.
500w idle, 900w under load, 360kW/month
Costs around 13$ USD
400-500W ~100$ per month.
I make nothing, I give people shit. Yay.
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
86W so about 20Euro/Month
I think your load percentage and time left plots would look better if they started at zero.
