Hey man , I really want to try and do the whole S9 on solar thing . How much energy does you s9 suck ? Do you have it on all day ? Do you use lithium batteries or lead acid ? How much did you pay for the s9 ?
Heating the yurt with an S9 running on excess solar power

There are no guests staying in the yurt today so I'm using it as an office to polish up my presentation for the SWMI bitcoin meetup tonight.
The sun is shining and the batteries are charged so I plugged in my mobile S9 space heater to take the chill out of the air from the night before. Batteries at 27v, panels making 800w of power and the miner is set to 500w. Good for about 6 terahash of free heat directly into the yurt thanks to the sun. Doing my part to keep the network decentralized and transactions time stamped all while getting 500w of heat out of the deal.
I also have a miner dehydrating squash seeds and simultaneously heating my house as well as a miner drying my laundry. Max hashing!

I would recommend designing a solar power system to make an essential power load run off grid. My system is designed to run my starlink internet and provide power for guests. Lights fans charging phones etc. as I expand it, I will run my well pump too. If you don't have an s9 it's worth having as a space heater, collectable and to learn about mining.
