I looked at the s17 & s19 miners - they are power-hungry. I am designing the solar to slower my garage and outdoors things(lights, refrigerator, IP cams, etc.). A small miner is just frosting on a cake. If it makes back what I spend on it, good! Otherwise I wasted $100 on a lottery ticket. (It may be the single time I gamble…)

How much power can you provide?

Not possible to buy a s19 under $500 nowadays.

I’ll be producing around 1.5KwH/day (max). Small potatoes. Enough for my garage refrigerator, lights, IP cams & a few lights.

Refrigerator is on a timer - kept on long enough to keep things cool, but not all the time.

I’ll build an 8’x12’ shelter (roof will face south only - no ridge in the center like house or barn have…) over my picnic table and plan to mount panels on it. I haven’t done numbers yet to know what I’ll have space to put on it. I have things for a 12v system, and plan to start with that for a few years then migrate to 48v.

S19 needs 3kW an hour.

Not a day, an hour. πŸ˜‚

Yeah… that’s bigger than what the boss will let me do without proof of return off investment! 🀣

You can probably run a on overlocked bitaxe gamma for β€œfree”. It uses 30W an hour.

Cost about $150 to $200 all in. But this is just for fun. Don’t expect to hit anything.
