hi im sorry if this is already answered, i was wondering are you able to generate all electricity needed to support your mining via solar and tesla battery?

thats so epic your using tesla tech like that, such a good creative way to do thiings

The battery holds about 13.5 kWh of usable energy.  You could say that this gives you about 1kW of stored energy per hour to use during the non-sunlight hours.  While that is enough to power our altcoin miner, it would not power our ASIC.  Additionally, the solar panels provide about 50kWh of electricity per day, which comes close to enough energy to power the mining operation running currently, but the grid is still needed for overnight without more storage capacity. 

In conclusion, batteries are cool because you can use electricity off of the grid, but that is what you are paying for.  It is doubtful that a battery purchase would ever be profitable unless you had some extraordinary things going on, whereas solar would likely be a smart investment so long as you stayed in the residence for more than a decade.
