## Can I run my RaspiBlitz on Solar Energy?
Yes - take a look at the project of [Chimezie Chuta](https://twitter.com/mezie16/status/1264513274080636928?s=20)

## Why is my "final sync" taking so long?
First of all if you see a final sync over 90% and you can see from time to time small increase - you should be OK ... this can take some looong time to catch up with the network. Only in the case that you actively choose the `SYNC` option in the `Getting the Blockchain` a final sync under 90% is OK. If you did a torrent or a copy from another computer and seeing under 90% something went wrong and the setup process is ignoring your prepared Blockchain and doing a full sync - which can almost take forever on a raspberryPi.
