Long time miners have always know about summer vs winter rates, its typical

your sumner rates are actually not bad. I pay .08 in winter and .13 to .15 in summer
I twns to shut down in the summer.

Next summer i go solar so i can keep mining

That's a wise decision over there.
Mining is not bad at all especially if you're not paying electricity bill at the end of the month.
You just have to shell out money at the start, but, that's a very good investment there.
Solar panels can be used within your lifetime.

Actually, why wait until summer to go solar?

The sun comes out all year round and even if there is less sun, it is still always profitable to have solar. But like what the OP of this thread pointed out, make sure you do the proper calculations and have a backup plan. You can't setup a solar farm only to end up without something to mine next year. The power generated by your panels would be useless if unused (some governments don't allow you to sell back to the grid).

I would man but i have a few issues:

- I have an insurance claim on my roof, so theres no point to installing solar and then having to take it down to get the new shingles on.
-I want to install the panels my self , I got a qout from alibaba for 100 300 watt panels for $10k and that included everything like the connectors an inverters but now with the tarrif bull shit its up to $13k
