The miner is small, it only takes 400W. Starting with 900W of solar. I'll end up upgrading at some point, but it's a good start for now. I will probably only add 1 more of these miners to this system down the line. I am getting 2 12V 300ah batteries (fucking monsters) and will parallel them at first. When I add the other miner, I'll get another panel as well and convert to 24V from 12V. So then I will go from parallel to series on the batteries. At least I am getting them at the same time so they have the same amount wear when i do the conversion. I am out of money or I would have already bought the other panel, lol.

I remember those monster batteries... $250 each.. and I ran a 48v system..

They aren't that cheap anymore, lol. These are the LiPo batteries too so I can get more discharge out of them than traditional lead/acid batteries. I paid 350 each for these and they were the some of the cheaper ones on Amazon for the 300ah.

Mine were supposed to be $325 each but we also did a couple installs so I got a break

nice. Yeah, I am considering just getting another panel here soon and setting it up from the start at 24V
