Miners, how do you power distant ones?

The problem with mods like the transformer is that you need to carry around a ton of machines just to convert the power and then convert it back(to use power teleport pipes). Any suggestions? I'd love some ideas to user power teleport rather than carrying around generators, solar thingies etc.

i usually use a flying mining station with RP2 frames, powered by two geothermals which get their lava from the miner (includes a small, fully automatic emtpy cell production system)
other than that you could change your config so miners accept lapotron crystals and use them to power your miner.

I just set up a microgrid.

To power distant miners i would suggest Charging bench Mk3 (IC² Addon) + MVT + LVT + lapotron crystals.
One lapotron is enough to power about two miner runs.
