Re: Say I have free electricity

I live off-grid on 100% solar and wind power. Obviously it cost a lot to get set up but now my electricity is "free". The catch is I only have about 10 spare kWh per day.

What's the best way to mine with this? Do I have enough spare power to get an ASIC or should I be looking at just mining with a PC or something when I have spare power?

Occasionally it'll be windy all night and I might have 20 spare kWh instead. It would be great to integrate it with my system somehow, basically as a dump load. At the moment my dump load is heating water, so it charges my battery bank completely and then dumps all the extra into making hot water. An ideal scenario would be dumping it into mining, and I could use the heat from mining to warm water anyway.

Anyone on the forum solved this problem already? Appreciate any tips, thank you
10 kWh per day can be used to power 50-100 modern video cards.
100 video cards 6600 xт or 50 video cards RTX 3080, but now it is very expensive.
The easiest way is to buy several inexpensive ASICs for mining Bitcoin or Litecoin, and after the payback, invest in more expensive equipment.


Make the math again Cheesy 50 - 100 GPUs with 10kwh? A normal rig with 6 GPUs use around 800watts per hour. A day has 24 hours, so he need around 20kwh per day  Wink

@OP
I think it is worse, start with 3 cards and you are fine i think.
I mine on solar as well and I've learned that if your solar panels are feeding you 4000watts make sure you are using 2000watts only and the remaining 2000watts will be available for battery charging or else you will spoil your battery backup real quick
That's true, it's called buffer zone meaning that your battery back up must be fully charged before mining unless you have extra sun power available then you can keep mining and your batteries will keep charging as well
