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.

Well, when your device can take 12 VDC input then solarpanel with 12VDC output can be fit directly there, but you need a battery system cause the sun light isn't constant. But when a miner is connected to a 220-230 VAC with a power supply (transformer 220 VAC - 12 VDC) or something like that and you don't want to put it away, only in that situation (perhaps) you take panels with integreted inverter (12 VDC - 220-230 VAC) thats fits directly to power of the house
