Solar energy and crypto currency are two fascinating technologies and I have been very interested in combining the two technologies into one project by powering my mining equiptment through solar energy. As much as I love crypto currency mining and I understand why power is used as an exchange for brining new coins into existence, I believe in the near future -there will be cleaner/cheaper alternatives then using power from the grid.
Although my project is still in the works, I was amazed on how easy it was to power my Antminer with just a few solar panels. I am able to power the Antminer as long as the sun is out 100% on solar and battery storage. During the late hours of the day once the sun is gone, I switch the Antminer back to the grid power.
I am excited to see how my solar powered mining project evolves and through the process hopefully discover new "cleaner" ways of mining cryptocurrency. Once complete, my solar system will have a total of 17, 225 watt, panels and I hope this will create enough power during the day to simultaneously run multiple miners 100% off grid as long as the sun is out.
