If you have to pay for power it's not good but I've done the calcs and this way looks promising. Everyone says you need to mine 24/7 for best efficiency but the numbers say different. It may be slower but it may be the tale of the hare and the tortoise.
@DIYSolarFarming if you have peak use rates, you can collect power and buy the cheaper power, then mine on battery during peak rate to lower avg cost?
The way I'm setting up I will run at max capacity and use almost all the power available during the day, That's between 10 to 15 AntMiner S19's when fully built out. That gives a much better ROI than playing the Power Company games.
If u mine only to empty the battery to have room to charge the next day assuming its sunny, and to stop the battery from getting to 100% to garantee use of 100% of the produced power, u'll probabl get a better $/kWh than seeling to any grid; and at zero cost. reenforcing BTC's blockchain not only with decentralized mining but also decentralized power production. win-win-win-win-win
@@xlportugal Yes, exactly! I don't want anything to do with the utility company. I make way more money mining than selling to the grid. Stay tuned for some interesting mining videos!
Nice. Always love to see it running!
Thanks! Will do a full day run today then I need to write some automation scripts to control the miners dependant on available solar.
@DIYSolarFarming this is amazing, I've wanted to play around with solar to btc for a while now
Cool you got it working good job
Thanks, it's working good so far!
How well are you doing with the crypto mining?
I assume it's way better to use excess solar production to make a good return also.
Thanks, Casey
