All my bitcoins I ever mined were solar powered.... the problem I see with your setup is you are converting DC to AC back to DC.... each time this is done , there is a loss.... to be most efficient ...... The only way is a grid-tie setup....

DEEP CYCLE Batterys need to be charges at 14 to 15 VOLTS... ALSO you don't want to discharge your battery's when there is long periods of no wind.....

WIND POWER is tricky.... the more wind the more volts.. and sometimes that needs to be dumped into a resister if your battery's are charged

I HAVE A SOLAR GENERATOR on my shed.... I have 5 , 120 amp hour batterys..... you said you have a dozen batterys

I'm afraid you don't have enough amps to keep your battery's charged and your system/ batterys will die rather quickly

Please give more spacifics on your equipment... so I cam understand your setup and plan...

Also you need to do the math...your usage and power production and your total amp hour battery capacity . I DONT T THINK IT WILL ADD UP...

PS. My coins were mined on a 7.5Kw grid tie setup on my house...your best bet is to grid-tie your setup and the amount of power you generate ..convert that into a dollar amount and just buy bitcoins....

I ordered a dozen batteries because i got a good deal at 12 if i ordered that many, i dont have to use them all.

I do not want to grid tie the system as i want it to only mine when the wind blows.

The reason i was asking if anybody had any ideas as to bypassing the inverter so i could go straight 12 v from the batteries with a voltage regulator was to avoid converting dc to ac then back to dc again.

The plan is to set up an S5 so it mines only when it has power from the wind, turn off when the power is gone. To have Bitcoins mined literally from the wind and wind only. Just to say i did it.

first.... you need to mine 24/7..mining equipment should be turned on and left on...repeated heating and cooling is not good...when do light bulbs burn out.. Huh

?...also pools like a constant hashing rate for a constant payout....how will you turn on everything when the wind blows... second... what type of battery's did you buy... size, type, capacity. .....what is the power usage of an S5... 3rd..How much money have you spent in this wind generator and did you buy it exclusively to mine bitcoins....

With that many batterys... you should have looked into a 24v setup...or higher..
