what is the lightest and most energy-saving hardware platform for running venus os ?

i already using Raspberry Pi 3b+, but for my small solar panel with 20 watts the current consumption 0,3 A seems me to much.

Hi @mfreinf,

I've been through Pi 3b+ and Pi 4 4GB as well as two GX devices (Venus GX and Cerbo GX). They are all more or less in the same range. IMO not worth to change anything unless you can clearly say you're saving 50% or more.
