i am a newbie to home ownership and am considering adding solar panels to my roof. One thing I just noticed from many panel specs: they are 12V DC.

Is there a way to hook the panels directly to a rig, bypassing the inverter etc.? I know battery is needed for overnight operation but I just want to know if this can be done, why or why not.

Thanks.

My panels have AC inverters built into them. They go straight into my home's power without a battery currently. There is no way I'm aware of to power a miner using solar power without the use of an inverter.

OG,

why isn't this possible? btc rigs all take input of 12VDC in my understanding.

I think it's safer to say you need an inverter. It's like power coming into house it gets turned up n down . Id think you'd burn that miner either fire or edit: burst of power.

They have an office in AA.

OG I forget which post. But which n what will you be mining? This 8/1 issue. And prospect of Nov?

I think it's better to use inverter and battery instead of connecting directly to your RIG.
Sunlight does not always shine. Automatic electricity generated solar panels are not stable.
I am afraid your RIG will be quickly broken if connect directly to the solar panel.
And your RIG requires not only 12V but 3V and 5V.
Thanks
