Thank you for sharing it! it means a lot!!

This was very informative! I was looking for info on just powering a gaming PC for a few hours off solar and this was the perfect place to get started on theory crafting. Thanks for all the details!

Happy to help! Would love to hear how the gaming project goes

DOn't forget to CLEAN your pannels, it will keep them running at optimum output.

You stated, "The environmental impact of mining is very high." While I applaud you for the idea of mining with renewable energy, that statement is overblown. Please don't feed the FUD surrounding this. The world has so much more to gain from adopting this technology than old legacy systems. Great video aside from that.

Very informative and useful video

I hope to move into a bigger place with a yard where I can set up free standing panels, thanks for info

You are the Goat thank you for this!

This is awesome! Get off nicehash ASAP tho :P

Thanks I have a similar setup.mWhat amp hr battery is it?

why u dont put the 12 volts from panel directly in 12 v cable yellow and black inside the pc directly for decrease the power from network. u do t need battery and ac dc converter if u do that

Nice video! One question: how to decide the volume of the battery since the battery is expensive : would we plug both the grid and panel at the same time to mining computers ? In case the panel can’t generate enough power , would we swift instantly to the grid to supply the miners the enough power?

No you don’t plug the grid and panels in at the same time this is 100% off grid once the sin goes down he has a hour he can for before the battery goes dead then if you want yes you can plug the computer into the grid at night and mine then plug it back into the panels in the morning he is using lead acid the best way to go would be 18650 batteries the more you use the long the KW hours you can go

It’s a cool setup but the fact that your only making about $1 per day does really make this seem impractical. The amount of money spent will take a long time to generate profit after breaking evening.

I think it is a good start guide for anyone looking to do this.

Update? Is it still running?

Great video Thomas. I think you should install these solar panels on top of your roof, it would generate more energy. Btw, is this is completely automatic or need any input?

hi love your video where you buy the system can you say to me the specs please?

Bro 82 temp, damn.. try using the auto tuner right now. Its perfect

If you clean your solar panels you would get more watts bro, you can use rubbing alcohol and paper towels or glass cleaner.

thank you for the video I have a few gaming computers and laptops on nicehash as well I want to future proof my earnings and attempt to micro scale a solar system and power needs of each individual rig . or maybe make a large off grid diy system . I have not decided which one is more feasible as of yet. I have a 100 watt solar panel already to test solar power unrelated to mining. and also bought an anker 300 watt solar generator for small power backup. unrelated to mining. it will run my 3060 asus laptop with supplied power adapter for 3 hours fully charged . not great . this also means someone would need a very large solar generator like a 2000 watt unit which are north of $1500 each . I noticed my laptop accepts the pd input for charging through usb c . My anker has a 60 watt max pd output on it so I located a cable and plugged it in and to my surprise the mining hasrate did not decrease much at all maybe just 1.5 mh . and about $2.30 daily average. It also had an estimated run time fully charged of 7 hours . If this holds up that would be great because I could maybe run the solar panel through the generator to the laptop using the pd charge feature and get possibly $2.00 a day average . and have it mine grid free for 12 hours of the day . In theory of course . I wish the anker accepted more solar and or had about a 700 watt battery and I would assume it would run this laptop for 24 hours . it is what I have already so i might as well keep doing testing find my optimal solar placements , power needs and potential cost using what I have to better size the solar equipment i need to run all m y equipment.

After 7 hours the power runs out......so are you rebooting the system manually every morning? I purchased a bunch of used panels at an auction and want to build out a system, but to have something run 24/7 requires an expensive battery setup so i'm trying to see if its possible to run for a few hours a day instead. That would just mean condensing the mining to the hours i generate power.

So what happens when the sun goes down and the power runs out of the battery? Are you re-booting the PC up every morning?

This ain’t gold buddy. It’s more profitable to mine alt coins anyway. I’m buying an Apollo rig that can mine litecoin. Much easier to mind much more profitable especially because I’m going to hook solar up.

Roughly - how much could one make a week from a rig such as this? How many rigs would I need before I could leave my job and simply get by?

Did you not watch the video? Its explained more than once in the video.

Does your battery cover the power overnight for your mining?

@DIYLifeTech

No. You would need a much larger battery to run overnight. Even with 7 sun hours per day you're still talking 17 with darkness or limited sun.

I’ve got a rig with 10 Rtx 3090 running, electricity price is going crazy. Is it possible to go off grid with solar panels?

I have 2x 3090 and 7x 3080 ti running on Solar.. it’s possible but can be expensive. you would be able to cut your electricity bill to almost in half.

A couple of days, didn't you guys just announce full electrical only vehicles in the next few years? Wow

You know what uses more electricity than bitcoin mining? Air conditioning, the banking system and street lights.

So can I use this miner on my daily PC or does this mining require a dedicated PC ?.

I'd suggest building a dedicated PC. You can do so for a starting cost under $1k.

@@DIYLifeTech I thought so, dug out a old dell PC and working on it now. The GPU is going to cost a lot, this old PC has a gtx 750ti.

So you need around 4 panels for 1 card ?

Are you still running this?

Love the idea. But I'm asking myself for a dollar a day is it worth it? Seems like a lot of time and energy involved unless it's just in the beginning and then you have to maintain it?.

It depends on your goals. If you want to make money doing this, $1 per day definitely won't cut it. But if you want to experiment with the concepts (and possibly scale up later) building a small system is a great way to start.

Nice and interesting documentation, thanks! I really don't like to see Amazon being actively supported though, especially while presenting more 'environmental friendly' alternatives

Kinda bummed that even crypto people use the "bitcoin mining...power consumption...small countries" blah blah. That's not real. Most of bitcoin mining is done in cheap energy areas where energy is just wasted and unused. So it's not consumption as such, it's an efficient and effective way to bring cheap and unused energy to other areas that don't have cheap/unused energy, in the form of bitcoin.

I don't see the point in this? Thanks for the video though. You can take you initial investment and put into Pancake Swap Syrup Pool and make like 75% APY. It will take you like year to start making money. At current rates 1k will yeild $1.5 a day.

Great video but your power usage figures are in my mind badly worded or misleading. Worldwide bitcoin uses less than half that of the banking industry and a large proportion of that is renewables. My first statement also goes for the gold industry. Just an example *Yes it may use more than Argentina, not to be derogatory but Argentina does not have the same industrial backbone or addiction to electronics as China, USA and many other Asian and European countries. Of course, it fluctuates but seen by industry, If bitcoin were a county it would hover around number 29 in power usage just above Argentina, banking and gold would take two places in the top 10. Let’s look at how much money goes missing off of servers against the block chain, there is nothing on this planet more criminal than the current financial system. “big rabbit hole”
