Make sure you buy hearing protection to go with those dozen or more S5's.

I am surprised that you would have 8KW or more of "free electricity".

Hi

I need help ,to setup home rig

my goal is 15TH/s, the power is free , but each s5 cost 480 $ with delivery
do u think should i start or not ?
and am i mine in a pool or solo , could it be profitable ?

How long it takes for ROI

Thank You
I think you need to define your "home setup" a bit more here.  To get ~15TH/s from S5s, you'll need 13 of them.  13 S5s will consume 7.67kW of electricity.  That's just about $18.41 a day in electricity costs if the power is $0.10 per kWh.  Somebody's going to notice an increase of $560 a month to their bill...

I live in south of Iran , the home given by company i work for , and i stay here for next 6 month

and when i get back to my home , if my average electricity consumption was below 200 Kwh ,  the price for Kwh would be 0.0145 US dollar


  so your kwatts must be 200kwh for cheap price of 0.0145  that is only 6.6 kwh a day.

1 s-5 is

  0.6 kwatts an hour
14.4 kwatts a   day
432  kwatts a   month
now if you are allowed 200kwatts a day  to get a 0.0145 usd price  you are good to go.

I do suggest you make sure if that 200kwatts is a daily number.

Back to my s-3 suggestion.  If your power price is under 0.03 cents for the next 6 months s-3's will make money.

2 s-3's and a psu are about 225-250 usd  here is what  they could do in 6 months
