Mining Bitcoin with excess solar power at my yurt. System is 975w of panels on a 24v system with a 225ah battery bank. (Adding another 300w panel soon which will max out the 60a charge controller)

I'm currently using an M29 (whatsminer m20 hashboards in a S9 enclosure) with 2 of the hashboards unplugged to reduce the power consumption down to ~600w. On a clear sunny day I can mine for 5-6hrs.

Today, I started using the airflow and heat generated by the miner to help evaporate liquids in the collection tank of the composting toilet at the outhouse. The toilet system had an option to add electric evaporators but using a Bitcoin miner instead was worth a shot. Hard to beat hashing from the sun and getting some extra use out of the airflow and heat the same time! #plebminer #bitcoinmining #permies #permaculture #homesteading #grownostr #solarpower #offgrid #yurt #bitcoin #stackingfuntions

Are you making any sats though?

If you're keen, you can figure out how many sats the setup can produce.

Holy hell that is cool.

Great setup👍

That's bad ass!

Well done, amigo!

This is sexy

Incredible work.

This is very cool, thanks for sharing!

you should mine shitcoins ! !! !

The miner is close enough to the shit as it is.

this guy?

Cool

What a great system.

Thats awesone!

Got a good deal on a 300w panel to add to the solar array at the yurt. Now on a sunny day the system can produce over 1200w which means I can plug in a second hashboard on the m29 miner and double the hashrate. It's been mostly cloudy with some sun peeking through for a few hours here and there since I installed the new panel. I have to say, I can't wait for a sunny day to see how the system does at double the power; double the hashrate while using the airflow and heat to evaporate the liquids in the composting toilet collection tank at the outhouse. For now, with the extra wattage, the batteries are able to stay charged even with guests using the power for several days in a row. Previously, it was likely that the low voltage disconnect tripped at some point during their stay.

Finally a sunny day with extra power for some hashing!

Using the extra solar power at this off grid yurt to evaporate the liquids in the composting toilet outhouse

Recently expanded the solar power system from 975w to 1275w so even with the 630w draw of the miner the batteries can still gain charge.

There have been a lot of guests staying at the yurt and a lot of cloudy days, so there hasn't been much hashing going on lately. Today the conditions are perfect!

So cool. Nicely done!!

Awesome!

*chapeaubas* This is an awesome setup. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏🏻

Awesome.

This looks like a great project to work on. 💪🏻

Cool setup, what is the cost of the system and ROI? Do you have posts on getting solar setup? I’m interested in running some aquaponics stuff with solar.
