What is your self hosted power draw? (lemmy.world)

Selfhosters what is the power draw of your entire setup? And have you done anything special to manage it you'd like to share?

Including all network equipment I use around 110kWh of good ol' 120V 60Hz USA juice per month. Averaging about 215 watts of power draw for my systems. Nothing amazing, but I like to think that it's a conservative setup for everything I accomplish with it. I'm paying around $25 a month for my setup. None of that includes my work PC or personal PC, just hosting infrastructure.

Other than trying to make sure all power states are available on my server I haven't done a lot of power conservation.

I'm curious what you all have.

I'm actually up at 1am because the two servers I brought online pushed my usage to around 1200W and it was too much for my UPS plus solar battery setup to keep up with. Also I just discovered that my power cable was too high a gauge and it melted to the extension cord, so I had to pry it apart with a screwdriver. Oops.

At full tilt I pull around 2500 watts, but I haven't been fully up and running in months because I haven't had enough available circuits in my panel. Just upgraded my home service to 400a so I should be able to run some new outlets this weekend.
