Needs to run 24/7/365 (366 every four years [epoch])
The moment you have even 1 second of down time, you will not be able to send/receive/route payments. This also includes internet uptime connection.
Welcome to Lightning⚡
PS
If you're that concerned about power, connect it to a battery/solar panel setup to give you guaranteed power 24/7. Additional cost of course
I'd say use this calculation
Computer Watt draw x 30% cushion x 24 hours/day = total power required (TPR)
TPR = solar panel size / 4 hours of sunlight (verify for your area, even in winter) = total solar output x number of panels desired (what can you fit)
How to store & draw power, even at night? Batteries
TPR = total watt hours in batteries
TLDR;
So for you? Get yourself 2 (two) 350W solar panels and a no less than a 3KWh battery pack
or
Just pay the ~$0.40/day to run the hardware
