BOINC is an open-source software platform for computing using volunteered resources
Berkeley has this really cool program called BOINC that you can download and donate your computer's resources to processing scientific data. There are a bunch of projects to pick, from working on climate change, to cancer, to the Large Hadron Collider.
The good folks at linuxserver.io even have a ready to go Docker container for easy setup: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/boinc
Another possibility is running the Archive Team's Warrior, which downloads data from at risk web sites and uploads them to the Internet Archive: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior
Does anyone else have examples of projects like this? My dream is for the Fediverse to have this sort of feature eventually.

I have spare compute power yea. But not spare money for a larger electrical bill.
“Spare” cpu cycles are not free

May I ask, how much it costed the solar panels installation?

Component lifetime is also reduced if you run them at full power (and thus max temperature) all the time.
Yeah, currently it is bad time for computing power donations.
