How efficient solar energy in mining cryptocurrency?
With the help of renewable energy running a mining rig is still dream of many miners. Yeah I was one of them, I have gone through some of the blogs which gave me ideas about solar pannel and energy.
First of all, these solar energy is 100% clean but it is not much comfortable like electric board. We need huge infrastructure setup which may not suitable for our planning area as we miners consume 1KW/hr it require huge panels and huge investment on it. Efficiency of solar pannel are always around 80% of rated value and it cost more. But I am not saying it was impossible to use solar energy for mining but it has many limitations that's what my point here.
But it was good plan to implement the solar energy to energize our home and keeps our roof top cool by preventing direct sunlight. I have read many articles saying it was good to move on to 100% renewable energy but it has numerous complexity such as we have no time to plan and setup those at our home. And it will nearly cost us to build a another new house 😂 then which family members will support your idea? Am sure no one.
On next month I was planning to make small DIY project on solar pannel with the help of YouTube and blog reference to build a fan to cool miners. Let see how we can make it work. Let me know if you have any useful info in the comment. I will share my complete sketch about it on my upcoming blog 😁. When it works fine will do bigger and implement these energy in miners too.
Get some 440 watts solar panel and that gives more efficiency than other panels. It is a new one in the market and costs about 20k each I guess.
