0 sats \ 4 replies \ @Wumbo 6 Nov 2023 \ on: Is anyone mining using solar panels? ☀️ bitcoin

I have a couple questions for you to help me recommend some options:

  • How many watts of panels do you have?
  • Do you have a grid tie (doesn't work when grid power is down) or a transfer switch?
  • Do you have any battery storage?
  • How do you current heat your house? Gas, electric, or other?

If you want to learn you could check out the nerd miner project. Not gonna stack sats but its a cool little project.

You could grab a used S9 and run it using your excess power. They are very affordable and easy to work on. Check out Kaboomracks

Also the Home Mining Wizards telegram is great.

Id second the used s9 option. Follow the s9 space heater guide from cryptocloaks.com, and now you are mining from home with excess energy and heating your home with heat produced by miner. 🤯

Yes, the heater option is great. You can underclock and replace the fans to reduce noise.
