What could be a a good solar panel for a mining rig of ca. 2000 watt?

a 2kwatt rig does 48kwatts a day.

to store 48 kwatts is not enough as you do not want to run down your batteries.

so 80 kwatts is more like it if you are battery off grid.

use a factor of 5 and a factor of 6

this is how much full sun on average you get.

so six hours means you need about 14kwatts of panels maybe 16kwatts if you are off grid.

good panels are 400 watts so you need 35 to 40 panels for complete off grid. battery based.

if you do on grid 50kwatts a day will do if the company that supplies power trades and lets you net out.

to do 50 kwatt in 5 hours you need 25 panels doing 400 watts each.

to do 50 kwatt in 6 hours you need 21 panels doing 400 watts each.

so you will need 21 panels doing 400 watts each at best case

and 40 panels doing 400 watts each at worst case.

panels are big 36 by 60 inches.

I helped me a lot too, thanks
