With the ruling of the Arizona Corporation Commission being finalized and the expiration of previously offered solar rate options on September 1st, I am happy to say that we have locked in solar rate sellback pricing for the next 20 years.  We will receive a minimum of $0.145 per kWh for the next 20 years, while new solar customers will currently receive $0.125 per kWh, an amount will be lowered by 10% per year until it reaches commercial rates.

This is a big win for the Green Energy Project, as it assures us not only access to cheap power, but access to a high compensation rate for excess produced energy decades into the future.  

I admired your mining advocacy to going green as we all know that bitcoin mining is power intensive. Implementing hybrid power design is quite impressive
i am still looking forward on your vision for green mining. Building a green power energy is a good anticipation for back-up plan for mining other alt coins just in case the bitcoin experienced a dooms day. You have now the back-up power so no need to worry if you would like to switch to other crypto currency because power generation is the best investment for crypto mining. Mining hardware could be outdated swiftly but power generation is standing still.

You could do what I did.  Start a public community project, run it for 5+ years transparently with no major technical issues, distribute over 700 BTC to members of the project, promote it to various news outlets, prove your ability to grow alongside the Bitcoin network without need to raise outside funding, invest a ton of your own money into green energy producing equipment, then keep everything running flawlessly while providing statistics and daily support to users with questions.

I make a project similar to in turkey. How can I find a sponsor?

I think it's safer to say you need an inverter. It's like power coming into house it gets turned up n down . Id think you'd burn that miner either fire or edit: burst of power.

They have an office in AA.

OG I forget which post. But which n what will you be mining? This 8/1 issue. And prospect of Nov?

There is no sense to hope for a storm. There are wind turbines which work in any weather. Even in the absence of wind. The picture of the older model and not just windy weather but also to install it in the tower. It's the last day. Technology is not standing still. But in any case, it is better than solar panels.

Ride or Die eh. Good to know. Let's hope for the best wvthe storm.

There will only be one BTC.

OG,

why isn't this possible? btc rigs all take input of 12VDC in my understanding.

There were 70mph winds last night in our first monsoon test for the wind turbine.  I'll admit the pole was flexing quite a bit, the sound it made was like something out of a horror film (actually reminded me of this scene from Crocodile Dundee 2), and when I tried to go get video of it I could only describe the scene as terrifying.  Nevertheless, it survived, and powered our current mining operation singlehandedly throughout the night.

This can be done if you have a small miner, one or two solar panels, and a 12V battery, all in very close proximity to each other. One key item to remember is that with say a 1Kw miner, that's 83+ Amps at 12V. That's a bunch of pretty serious wires to carry that current. If you have enough panels to produce 1KW, it isn't practical to place those close to the miner and the battery. When you get to tens or maybe a hundred feet of cable to carry 80 Amps at 12V, it gets to be pretty cumbersome. Just imagine what it would be like with 10 Kw of solar panels.

Just like with electric companies, it's much better to use a higher voltage with lower amperage to transmit power over distance (e.g. miles). Same principle for a solar setup since you don't want a mass of heavy gauge wire to connect all the components, just on a smaller scale. You don't want to lose a lot of power, just in the wiring. You see this at all levels of a power distribution system where it's more efficient to use a higher voltage to get a lower current (e.g. 240V or 480VAC for high power applications).
