I literally can only think the only way of breaking even and making profit in a year is to get a business grant, which is non re-payable for a business start up, using that to buy second hand S1's or S5's on Ebay and then installing solar panels for summer and wind turbines for Winter. That's ASSUMING you get full electricity provided by the renewable energy devices and assuming you are not renting the land/property to do it. You would then make approximately 20% profit. hahahahaha. I would consider it, but my dad won't let me put the solar panels on his roof! Sad

what a chode!!!!!!

Solar is to expensive though in most cases. Look at the price and how it's a drop in the bucket for some hobby miners. It's just hard to have a lot of watt's of gear let's say even 10k watts.... you have quite the investment in solar.

And this not a quick investment your talking 10+ years likely to pay off if everything runs right. Which is very long term compared to bitcoin mining. Some will do solar yes... but that initial cost is hard to do. Compare it to cheap electricity those with very cheap electricity almost always win.
