I don't really understand what he's suggesting. Miners built into solar panels?
Yes, essentially. The chip would integrate directly into the silicon of the photovoltaic cells. The result would be raw solar energy being converted into hashes with minimum energy loss. Although, there is much engineering that needs to be done, like power management and the hashing chip's ability to work with fluctuations in current, etc. It's basically taking the process of hashing bits as close to the actual energy source possible.
