Anything from Seasonic should be decent

I'm guessing your end goal is solar cells with a battery bank?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

What others have recommended is fine. I will note however that for this purpose, you shouldn't use an evga g2 (not sure if the G3 is affected), as in the event of a power cut, it waits too long to pull low the PWR_OK line (sorry if i butchered that), and thus sends low voltages to components for several milliseconds, which can cause problems.
