Some parts of this country have a "night tariff" which is much cheaper than the daytime rate. Was thinking that this combined with a battery array could be a cost efficient way to run a rig by only ever buying "night tariff" energy. Not something I have explored in great depth though I'm sorry to say.

Actually, during the night and on cloudy days the energy is supplied by my traditional provider instead of solar cells and the surplus is sold to the supplier

Is anyone mining using solar panels? ☀️

Depending on where you are in the world I think you would need quite a large array, probably larger than what would fit on a regular house, at least here in the UK. On top of that you'll need a battery storage system to keep it running overnight.

It's a great idea though, let us know how you get on!
