Next project.
Add off-grid solar power to garden office - say 800W.
Enough to run basic whf tech (laptop, monitor, node), and an S9 miner at 400W... maintains ambient temperature and humidity (with a steady trickle of solar-sats).
Any fellow Brits able to advise on set up? For example, this PV Solar Panel Kit (GBP 2099)?

This is great more of this please

I already have the S9 Space Heater.
It's fit for purpose. D-Central did a great job with the refurb, silent fans, and sourcing the cryptocloaks case.
Next level would be the S17 or S19. Maybe they go on sale after the halvening, that window of a year of so when the block reward has dropped but the fiat price of bitcoin hasn't caught up.
Let's see what the future of pleb office temperature control holds.
What OS running on S9.. I'm off grid also, and haven't found a direct way to control S9 that uses triggers from my solar rig..
S9 is only going to be able to run at peak power. Are you able to set S9 power settings to match solar power gain?
Yes, braiinsOS interface makes that easy enough, can set target temperature, power, or hash rate. So 400w yields about 4th/s... and 800w yields anything up to 10th/s... if I go to 1200w then I can get 13.5th/s and a toasty office.
But my goal is to have something running functionally in the background for 'free'... given I need a bit of warmth and dehumidifier anyway. Grid power costs a bomb here in UK, so it's more of a hobby if you know what I mean.
Yeah, played with brains a bit..
I require full system to ramp up/down on its on according to solar gain.. I did try a self made immersion setup, that allowed fluid to heatup if battery voltage got to low, triggering down ramp of S9.
But it was hell finicky, and response curve to slow..
Shame S9 doesn't have any onboard io ports. Or does it??
Think it may be possible using nodered/venusos on my RPI solar system. But I've a lot to learn about using CLI and SSH.
