What's up, gang? I did a quick search, and was unable to find satisfactory answer.

My main objective is to contribute to decentralization of Bitcoin mining, and not making money. If I end up making a few dollars a day, that's cool. Or, if I mine solo for a small chance to win a block within a few years, that's cool, too.

I am in the area with electricity cost of $0.25/kWh, not to mention I don't want 'them' to know, hence using solar is a good choice. I am guessing I could generate a few kWh/day, and I am guessing could run solo rig for a couple of hours per day.

I don't want to waste time on experimentation. Most likely, someone already knows what would be a reasonable setup. My budget is about $2000 for initial setup, and have space for around 20 sq ft for solar panels. Have small shed outside to store ASIC/battery.

Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
