Bit the bullet and got the last solar panel I needed to make a 24V solar system for my mining farm!
This will give me more efficiency and less power loss due to resistance!
This means more power available for miners and batteries!

Awesome! How much power can you produce with them?
This will make the 4th 300W panel, so total of 1200W for mining!
oooh maybe I should get into mining... got plenty of solar panels!
Well done! Investment really will pay for itself! How many miners do you run?
RIght now the mine is pretty small, only 1 Goldshell Mini Doge III (DOGE/LTC), Mac Mini M2 (Monero), Macbook Pro (Monero) that also powers a USB ASIC (DOGE/LTC), and then I also mine on my Macbook Air M1 when i am not using it.
That is honestly about all this solar system will handle with trying to keep it off-grid as much as possible. If I add another Mini Doge ASIC, I will be having to use some grid power for a few hours a day or more. At least from the calculations I ran with Grok and ChatGPT, lol, both of which were the same figures. We will find out soon enough, lol.
I have to take into account 20% loss in transfer resistance, sun up time, cloudy days, etc. This system may still run a couple of hours on grid, but not sure yet. Currently is all on grid until I get this last panel.
Too bad you don't live in Yuma, Arizona! But overall not bad, a couple hours on grid vs. 24 hours, it's a huge win! I think when I sell here I'm headed to Florida, I need to check out which counties are best for solar.
My only issues are trees, but I am positioning the panels in a good spot. There is one bush that is going to come down in the next week or two that is going to be key as well. But I am in the southeast, so still get good sun.
