Recommended low-power models Huh

With low power consumption, there is little chance of getting a good profit. Mining has long been an industrial production.
I agree that if you live in a very sunny country, then this is a good alternative, and you should make calculations, how profitable it is and how long the payback will be.

Should we judge based on the circumstances?

If you can afford it, why not?

If your Bitcoin miner requires 100 watt to run just set up a 250 watt solar panel and a 200ah 12v battery, you will be able to mine on a sunny day and still be able to mine when the sun is down till the next morning. It will take 15hrs of using 100watt from a 12v 200ah battery when draining 75% of the bank, which is required for long term safety of the battery, I've done this and it worked perfectly, there won't be a down time unless there is no sun in the next day.

So if you plan to run a BTC miner that need 1000watt you need to wired 2500 watt solar panel, the extra is just for running your machine and also topping the battery bank while on usage, but as the wattage increases you will have to spend more money on battery banks, and that's where mining on battery comes with pain. Some people prefers mining with sun only, once the sun is down they will shut down their machines.

Solar mining requires consideration of factors such as weather, location, and the high costs associated with solar panels, energy storage systems (such as lithium batteries), inverters, and other equipment. Therefore, solar mining is not suitable for most miners. Is that correct? Unless you are very wealthy or have a good environment.
