Not to nitpick here...

Upgrading your service from 100A to 200A will get you only 22kW of total new power, or 17.6kW usable.  Just want to make sure you understand that you're not going to have 24kW available for use out in those sheds, unless of course you don't mind tapping into the original 100A you had in your home already.  You'll need just about 136A out to those sheds to get 24kW of usable power.... this is all assuming you've got 220V service.

Thanks for this! I called him and I misunderstood he is not upgrading my service but rather installing an additional 200 amp service.
Gotcha... an extra 200A will provide you plenty of power.  Now, of course, the question becomes, "how much are you paying for your electricity?".  Hopefully you're getting a good rate, or you're going to charge your brother a boatload for hosting his miners Tongue

I'm a good bro so I'm not charging him anything but he obviously has to pay for his share of the electricity at 10 cents... He has the same amount of miners so we are looking at around 80-90Th and we are planning on solo mining for at least a month and trying our luck. Electrian is coming tomorrow so I'm off to get the shed ready. Lots of work ahead!
