Hello all,
I am interested in setting up a solar powered system that will run a
computer or two (not necessarily a monitor on them). I would be
interested in doing this mainly either for a long term UPS backup, use
in distributed computing, and reducing my draw on the grid.
Is this a possibility? Do you guys know of any good guides or articles
on how/where to get started?
Thanks!

I think you need a set of the Harbor Freight panels ($200), an inverter
(about $90), a couple of golf cart batteries from Costco, and a Solar
Converters MPPT charge controller from Canada ($90).

Add a battery charger to that.
