RE: Is a Solar Powered Mining Rig The Wave Of The Future?

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Solar mining is sexy on the surface in my humble opinion. The issue is where you have the best sun production you have the biggest cooling problem and even by using Peltier cooling technology vs. traditional AC the math can still be a problem. I tried underclocking(choking several Peltiers on amperage) to get better results on power draw but it still ended up making a poorly solar run system on an Antminer S3 a couple of years ago. For the time being my thoughts are better to setup a solar location with a balance of sun production and maximum amount of cost per kw achievable when selling all of it to a power company. Then use those funds to simply buy bitcoin.

Now there are some interesting thoughts! :)
