When setting up your solar panels to run a miner like the s9, you'll want to ensure you have a reliable battery system to store excess energy for when the sun isn't shining. Given that the s9 isn't too power-hungry, a 14-16 panel setup should be sufficient. Make sure your inverter is compatible with your miner's power requirements and that your battery bank has enough capacity to cover the miner's operation during cloudy days or nighttime. Additionally, consider the heat output of the miner and ensure it's well-ventilated to avoid overheating, which can reduce efficiency and lifespan.
