Put a modern power supply into an LSI-11 and no problem.

Really, the Intel fab down the street has had a 10KW solar array for
at least 15 years with a footprint not much larger than a current-day
American pick-up, so you could run just about any PDP-11 off of solar
if you wanted.

A fully-loaded PDP-10, say, might be a challenge. ;-)
