Only issue with solar mining is that you need batteries to continue mining into the night.

Combine solar with wind or small scale hydro. I think that's the solution.

Especially if you're using wind to pump water up to a tank and then gravity feeding it through a pipe with hydro generators as you need power.

If you're somewhere with limited water you can do the same thing but with gears and weights instead of pipes and water.

You don't need batteries but they def help. Get older, less efficient ASICs to keep initial capex low. Only mine for heat or with excess energy supply. Be your own demand response. Escape predatory electric utility pricing. Stack sats privately and permissionlessly.

Throw in a house battery and a genny for peak demand and you no longer need a grid connection.
