October sucks. Even on a clear day the panels are down. About 40% from summer production.

October is up from September so far. Seems the state not in flames helps. CA is currently sharing some of their smoke. I still haven't gone on recon to assess the damage.

After the February freeze I found out that all my neighbors had their power cut off at some point.
I didn't. Being a registered new mexico power generation facility has its perks.

Now that I'm mining Ethereum, which adds ~300 watts of continuous power consumption, I finally used up my banked credit and had a $60 bill last month. The sun has been out enough that I've generated an excess the last 3 days. My bill should be smaller this month and finally zero out next (hopefully).
I've almost mined 10% of a Ethereum, which at the moment is worth about $130.

I've got a persistent connection and a 2nd computer. Is the 300W to run a desktop machine?

Crypto probably isn't worth mining unless you have free electricity or are given an ASIC.
I have both free electricity (after I paid for it upfront with solar) and free GPUs. My 300 watts consumption consists of 200 for the powerful rackmount server and 100 watts for the GPU. If I'm successful adding another GPU tonight, I expect that to consume another 100 watts.
