I'm currently planning to start a large mining operation (not super large).
But I am considering should I buy a house or rent some place or even rent like a store front to store mining rigs?
As I understand it, houses probably have 200 amp circuit panels. Most circuits use 15 amp. So does this mean each circuit panel can only handle about 13 circuits running at ~80% load meaning about 13 mining rigs per 200 amp circuit panel?

Am I able to call electric company or electrician to install new 200 amp circuit panels and if so is there a limit?

I would like to just use 1 house. I may just buy a cheap house and use it mainly for mining purposes.

Also another idea I had was to just get a shed to save on cost. Am I able to install 200 amp circuit panels in the shed?
