@ognasty

I'm involved with a sustainable mining operation in Iceland. We're using volcanoes for power, ice for cooling and reforesting in South America. Would you be interested in meeting us and seeing if we can benefit from each other's work?

Feel free to PM me with any ideas you have or what you're interested in. While I think generating energy from volcanoes sounds very cool, I'm not sure that's really on my radar as something we want to explore. I'm always open to listening to ideas though. Would love to see some volcano pics as well.

hi im sorry if this is already answered, i was wondering are you able to generate all electricity needed to support your mining via solar and tesla battery?

thats so epic your using tesla tech like that, such a good creative way to do thiings

The battery holds about 13.5 kWh of usable energy. You could say that this gives you about 1kW of stored energy per hour to use during the non-sunlight hours. While that is enough to power our altcoin miner, it would not power our ASIC. Additionally, the solar panels provide about 50kWh of electricity per day, which comes close to enough energy to power the mining operation running currently, but the grid is still needed for overnight without more storage capacity.

In conclusion, batteries are cool because you can use electricity off of the grid, but that is what you are paying for. It is doubtful that a battery purchase would ever be profitable unless you had some extraordinary things going on, whereas solar would likely be a smart investment so long as you stayed in the residence for more than a decade.

@OgNasty, I'm thinking about buying 30 solar panels from Canadian Solar CS1H-325MS-Black > 325 Watt HiDM High Density Mono-PERC Solar Panel - 35mm BoB for my rig. A question, with 30 solar panels working how many ASICs or GPUs these panels can handle without using the electricity from the grid? The location have good sun exposure.

That's a question that only leads to more questions. Are you going to turn off the rigs during periods of no sunlight or will you be buying an army of batteries?

I think it's best to look at the production and then consider it an offset to whatever usage you're using. You'd be surprised how little mining power you get from solar panels. Your question indicates you may have higher expectations from solar panels than you will receive from them. The math you're asking me to do for you is also extremely oversimplified to the point where I am not sure I believe that you're seriously considering solar for this use.

If you are handy you can look at making your own more efficient wind turbine.

I have been following this guy on youtube, looks interesting and is on my list of projects to investigate when I get a real workshop back.

Since you've been involved in green mining for years.. any recommendations on the solar route? Any newer wind turbine designs catch your eye that are worth it to any degree? I'm assuming you dont have water access so no hydro?

I can only speak to my solar hardware, and I would say it is a great purchase for anyone with a good amount of sunshine. As I've previously stated, I don't think wind turbines are the way to go for on-grid applications. If I ever get the chance to go hydro, I'll be all over it. I've looked at some solutions with what I have available, but they aren't worth the hassle.

I have 3 acres, i wonder if a wind turbine would be worth it for me then. enough space and no HOA to complain.

My solar helps but as a 10kw system, its not generating enough to cover much.

Wow! Wind turbine! So much better than solar IMO! The sun isnt always out where I live but it sure as heck is windy all the time! Thank you so much for these mixed ideas you gave me!

Honestly, if the wind turbine wasn't donated, it would have been a near complete loss. It generates less energy than I do daily on the exercise bike. Additionally, I have been hearing complaints from my HOA, and may be forced to halt it's operation at the next quarterly meeting while we further discuss it. Unless you are on a large property where you can get a massive turbine very high in the air, or are using it to charge batteries, I wouldn't suggest anyone go the wind turbine route.

For this project, if I am forced to halt operation of the wind turbine and want to keep it somewhat wind powered, I may decide to go with something I can hide a little easier, like this: https://www.amazon.com/My-SolarMill-Hybrid-Commercial-Renewable/dp/B013F6FQ9U

When the inverters were replaced the workers removed the "pest-proofing" that was keeping pigeons away. This resulted in a nest being built under one of the panels. Today new pest-proofing was installed and the pigeon nest with eggs was removed. I did not ask what became of it or the eggs, but I assume they were not relocated. RIP.

SunPower issued a replacement order for the inverters used on the solar panels. They are currently being replaced. I'm told this will result in a higher max output as well as more accurate reporting.

Hi OG, may i ask how you aquired this sponsorship? Simply ask?

Gunthar and I have had a working relationship for a while now. When he was purchasing signature spaces from me, we thought this might be a longer lasting and more positive use for advertising dollars, which I believe it has been.

Have you ever tried the bladeless turbines?

I haven't, but I'll take a look at a retail product when it becomes available. Seems interesting.

In preparation for the coming high winds from monsoon season, I have added supports to the pole to keep the turbine from swinging wildly. I've discovered a few maintenance issues, but am working to correct them. I think a little loctite and some new blades should do the trick. In the meantime, the turbine is continuing to function at perhaps it's best since being installed.

Have you ever tried the bladeless turbines? I'm very interested in renewable energy because i don't think any future mining will be possible without it. Sooner than later all grid mining will cease due lower mining profits.

Do you have a plan to extend your capacity?

Anything could happen in the future. I think I'd need a bigger house for this project, which isn't so much about capacity as it is a proof of concept. With the right funding though, anything is possible.

Quote from: ?? on ??

definitely kudos to you man , astonishing efforts and awesome result , HOWEVER

to follow your way would be nice to see expense/profit calculations to evaluate ??

can you pls share if possible.

main point it to see what is your electricity cost vs powwer grid ?

If you contact a solar salesman in your area, I can promise you that they'll give you more information pertaining to your specific circumstance than you would ever want to see.

Tempering expectations though, you should expect this to be an investment of between $20,000-$30,000 and not break even over traditional energy usage for more than 10 years. If you figure in lost potential investment on those funds, the payback period could go as high as 20 or more years depending on your conditions. It isn't something you do to make money, as much as to be responsible and safeguard against crazy energy scenarios in the future.

I’m allowed to sell excess solar energy back to the grid, but I am not allowed to sell grid energy back to the grid at higher prices that I’ve stored in the battery. What is happening now is that instead of selling excess energy back to the grid at off-peak prices, it stores it and then uses it on-peak.

the only issue with this is consuming the battery lifespan, which in some cases can be less efficient than selling energy back at off-peak-prices.

That is true. This is why I don’t have the battery set to fully discharge ever. It always keeps some juice for backups and to prolong it’s lifespan. If at some point the regulations change to make this a more profitable device, I will fully utilize it.

Ahh, gotcha.

So if you wanted to, you could sell excess power at off-peak prices, but you are storing excess electricity in the battery, and using it during times at which peak prices are charged in order to avoid paying peak prices.

Exactly.
