Solar-powered Bitcoin Mining farm

Looks expensive.

"Farm" is kind of an exaggeration, don't you think? I don't think one miner even qualifies as a "garden". I would call it a "bitcoin planter".

I'd see this as more of a hobby build than something people who are trying to make money to do. On that note.... I want one, or 10.

Using way more power than those solar panels can provide.

I am planning a bitcoin mining solar green house. That's for parking the way. I am going cheaper though.

Don't those bitcoin miners run on 12 volts? it seems inefficient to convert DC to 220V and then to 12V. Better to use a DC to DC converter to run the miners directly. I'm a little unclear on how MPPT would work in that setup though.

You would need roughly 20 solar panels to be able to run a single miner.... But only for the few hours where the sun brings the maximum power.. It is basically a waste of money ... Don't even want to start talking about the cost of a system with 20 panels...
