Im a bit gob smacked at those saying No ROI. /me shakes head/ ROI is not an issue when your talking about things that can be used outside of mining. with Solar for example, if you stop mining you use it to generate power for your home of other device. There are inverters you can buy that just plug straight in to you Home 240v/110v Power Sockets and top up your home electricity. Say you dont stop mining, well then that's free power for however many years the panely lasts. most a guaranteed for 10 to 30 years. I will solarizing my Gridseeds ASAP. im trying to sort through all the pages of other peoples projects for clues. I have a little head start, years ago I brought a 200w Wind turbine I never got around to installing on a tower. I also live in Australia and we got a tonne of sunshine here, even in winter we are good for 6 hours full sun, another 4 hours partial. in summer its around 10 hours full sun. So I am confident Solar & wind for me will work well. Also if your an electronics enthusiast like myself its a great project and ROI is just not an issue.

Because you also have to ROI with the solar cell? They have relatively short, finite lifetimes and cost fiat upfront.
