So i saw some solar panels going cheap at an auction and thought that it might be an idea to buy them and set up a cryptocurrency mining rig which would be powered by the panels.
Mining rig with solar panels.
I just installed solar panels to run my miners during the day.
Thats why i am here.
Solar panels provide inexpensive power.
Bitcoin mining is forcing me to go solar power.
In most places in us the power from solar energy you can get on an average day is about 5 kwh m 2 day 1.
Calculations based on eia data reveal that the average us household consumes about 1 2 kilowatts of power meaning that 343 megawatts would be enough to power 285 833 us homes at the time of writing may 2015.
Mining operations with the tools and resources to be able to set up solar powered rigs in the desert are finding that it is a good investment.
It s not just the cheapest form of energy but i get rid of the grid transfer cost and tax 75 my solarpowered mining rig went viral on reddit https.
At this rate the bitcoin network runs at 342934450 watts which equates to around 343 megawatts.
No major solar mining operations in 2019 but one firm claims to be building a 20mw sun powered facility in australia over the last few years there s been a lot of fud surrounding bitcoin.
To date i am not aware of any significant mining operations using low.
Not only does my house get heated but i cut the mining cost by 75.
Let me start by saying i have never done any mining like this before so am unsure of the limitations.
Residential panels usually range from 150w 350w units so at perfect peak load youd need a minimum of 4 units to supply 1200w of power.
Let s go with that number and assume you live in a sunny ish city in us.
That means that the wattage you get out of the solar panels is aro.
