So cool. Nicely done!!

Sweet setup! 🙏😁😆💜

Off grid hashing, now with double the hashrate!

I changed the angle of the solar panels to see if I could get more power.

Plugged in two of the three hashboards on the m29 miner (wmm20 hashboards in s9 enclosure) instead of just one which all in draws over 1200w

With the panels angled more towards the sky, the system was able to produce almost 1100w which is a couple hundred watts better than I was getting before at the lower angle.

The batteries were taking a beating today getting down below 25v but when I unplugged the miner the voltage was able to get back up above 27v before there wasn't enough light to charge anymore.

When there aren't guests staying at the yurt, the solar power system is hashing and helping to evaporate the liquids in the composting toilet collection tank. The compost system had the option for electric heaters to evaporate liquids. No need for electric heaters when one has a Bitcoin miner. Even better if it can run off the sun!

Expanding the power production capacity of the homestead with 4 more solar panels

Slow and small solutions is one permaculture principle that comes to mind with the solar power system at the homestead. Every year I plan to make additions and upgrades. This year, the plan is to double capacity (done) and run the starlink internet directly on DC from the batteries. Last year, I added one more panel, and got a second charge controller as a backup after I thought the charge controller had failed but I was able to repair it.

I keep choosing to upgrade power production over storage because the power storage needs of the yurt guests is low. Plus, now that I have Bitcoin miners, any excess power production can utilized. Now, I think I have enough capacity to start powering some circuits at the house too so maybe power storage will be next year's expansion. Who knows, maybe more storage won't be necessary because I'll be able to generate power when the sun isn't shining with a wood gasifier...

Awesome!
