New update from the solar mining project:

The cover plates are finished. The full setup is now running on battery and solar – and it works!

However, a few new insights:

The miners sit a bit too high, causing heat buildup. I’m working on a partition plate to improve airflow.

Also, under full load, voltage drops below 5V – which can damage the miners over time and makes overclocking impossible, despite solid water cooling.

I’ve ordered adjustable power supplies to compensate for the voltage drop going forward.
