The concerning thing these days it is effictivly using electric to generate crypto coins. With the recent increase in electric costs and another increase on the 1st April to 28p per kwh (was 16p back n December) its really eating into any profits. I'm trying not to cash out the crypto coins as there is a high chace they will be worth more if I leave them in there.
My mining rig is spread over 3 setups. One is 696w, another is 627w and the big one is 2259watts. Total of 3582watts, 24 hours a day @ 28p. Around £1 an hour, or £24 a day.
My current solar panes are only a 4kw system. On the best of days it can just about run it. Wouldn't it be great to have more panels and storage to run it on the best of days for the whole day including the night.
Now i ant do much about the winter monther, perhaps could swtch off the miner on those days. Possible between April and August could run it with very little power needed from the grid.
Still working out numbers. I not have the reading evry hours from my solar panes last year. From this I can scale the figures to the proposed system. So this will let me know how many cloudy days there was etc.. With these numbers i can simulate battery storage, work out if there is too muchstorage or not enough. I'm limited on roof space, so I'll maximise that and work with it.
It looks like i can get 15 x 455 watt panels on the garage.
Building a new shed I can get 15 x 400watt panels on it. With 5 or 6 x 400 watt panels on the current garage.
Gives me 14.8kw system. An increase of 4 to 5 times of what I have.
The idea of maximising solar panel coverage is that it can run the miners and charge up batteries, when the sun goes down its running the miners from the batteries. When the batteries are flat I have the option of pulling from the grid or switching off.
