The only workable solution is Solar panels as sunlight duration during all weathers is more than 10 Hrs/day which is quite sufficient . Solar system need one time huge investment but it will continue supplying electricity at zero dollar cost for many decades.

10 hours of peak sun hours is just impossible regardless of where you live, but then if even if we were to go with the assumption that you do get 10 hours, what happens in the remaining 14 hours? if your miner sits idle it will never ROI, so you still need to pull from the grid, mining solar is pretty much useless unless you it has tax benefits of some kind like how things are with our friend phill, but just go and buy a few panels to mine bitcoin won't work.

Mining with solar successfully needs a grid tie in.

Ie you mine say 10Kwatts an hour or 24 x 10 = 240 kwatts

you net meter with the power company = WTF

simple you produce say 50kwatt an hour for 5-6 hours (seems wrong it is not wrong to use those factors). that is 240kwatts to 300kwatts a day

so when the solar works and you have a 50kwatt setup you burn 10 kwatts net meter the other 40kwatts.

or 240-300 a day solar made

and 240 mining burned means you are at 0 to 60 kwatts net free power a day.

to build a 50kwatt setup you need 400watts x 125 panels = 50000

that means $$$. and a lot of roof space.

Most homes do 15 to 25 panels and use 300 watt panels or 7500 watts to 10000 watts

which is about 50kwatts a day divide by 24 = 2.08 kwatts 24/7 that is single s17 set at 2000 watts.
