Either Thermopiles or running it on battery power would be the most effective solution. Thermopiles are kind of interesting to use, but if you want them to move it might be rather dangerous. Battery power's plus side is you can use solar panels, which are more convenient (if not necessarily more efficient) and bring the batteries down to your mining system, but the downside is that you have to either find and manually recharge your mining rig, or (if it's even possible) set up a pipe system w/ ender chests to pipe charged batteries into your battery boxes on the mining rig and uncharged batteries back into the ender chest so your power station can take them out of the ender chest and recharge them. If it is even possible, it'd be very complicated.
