So effectively light enough that it could run on a raspberry PI 4. Well that would put you under 10W
Well the first question is what software you NEED to run, then we can figure out hardware.
Yes in a scenario, which you are in a cold climate which it is always cold outside. Then yes, thermal energy storage would be an extremely efficient option.
It doesn't apply to most living humans but I grant you that special case.
yes, I did look at your link and noted all of sites are those near mountain ranges; which I certainly grant you is near (within 100 miles of) most human population centers.
Build community is always the best path forward. It enables the sharing of tools and resources that enable one to feel less of a need to buy things out of fear.
Really looking forward to seeing this packaged in Guix
in every sense of the word.
Full source code control, nothing included that you don't ask for, substitutes for those wanting to reduce energy requirements as a collective group.
Oh and can be productively used on a system powered exclusively by a $5 solar panel.
in software these days it is: good, cheap or fast; pick one (if you are lucky [usually things are just bad, expensive and slow as f&*k])
depends extremely heavily on the efficiency of the panels.
You would need to exceed 84% solar to electricity conversion efficiency to make that conversion pay off.
As chlorophyll has an approximate 90% maximum interception of 400nm to 740nm light and your panels would be getting the extra energy from frequencies outside of that range. The energy of a photon is determined by hc/λ, with the result that the energy of a blue photon (400 nm) is 75% greater than that of a red photon (700 nm).
Anything less than that would be a net loss unless there is a significant increase of ultraviolet light in the near future.
Well yes there is a hard limit, we just don't know what the exact carrying capacity is (there may be multiple different values).

They may wish to look into Gnu Guix (and possibly nonguix channels depending on their needs)
Warzone 2100 (you can download for free as it is an old PC game that went GPL)
gets more on the nose by the day
