Hello everbody
A friend who works in solar energy has offered to share some of his KW output for Bitcoin mining. I'm new to mining and trying to decide if this is worth pursuing.
What mining equipment would be most efficient for a solar setup?
How many KW would I realistically need to make this profitable?
kW and KWh are two different concepts, you are going to need to ask your friend how much of both he would be able to spare, if the setup is off-grid with no backup batteries then it would be useless regadless of how much much KW there is, the aspect of running your miner for 3-5 hours a day is bad, even if the power is free, the ROI is going to be terrible for a gear that runs for 20% of the time or less.
So, without all this information, no advice is worth a thing.
