Well at least where I live the sun is out for 13 hours of the 24. Suppose you could gather moonlight. For a small setup it would be possible but your least initial investment would be near 1k to do it right.

WoW !!! Is it really possible to mine at moonlight ?

Are you crazy ? If I were alt of CMW, why would I express legitimacy concern about this company ?

Again I could be wrong. But the two post are 100 percent the same words, nothing changed with you and other person.

And I don't know if the site your using is really a good 3rd party. What makes them a good party to judge site? On a scale to 100 percent they gave them currently a "101.17". So makes me question how they possibly come up with this percentage as it's over the max.

CMW is a blatant ponzi with an army of shill accounts promoting it.

Of the few actual customers they have, several are reporting payouts that are ~5% of what they should be and these shills suggest buying new contracts because the "new rates" are so much better/more profitable.

CMW is one of the most half assed ponzis I've seen. Stay far away from it.

I recall that Maidak was going to setup something like this. No one was really interested in it. They were worried about liability and whether the fact it'd be sunny all the time.

I heard that at the current bitcoin price (~220 USD) it is better to sell solar energy directly to grid than mining bitcoin with it.

If your PV station is connected to the grid and your electric power company offers you 'net metering' then probably it can be profitable to mine coins.
In this case you only need the panels and an inverter.

It's very likely. Entering BTC mining seriously now probably requires 5-digit investments - sure, there are the small miners but I'm not quite sure on how much they ROI.

It is really cost-ineffective to power altcoin miners with 12v. The biggest solar grade PSU I've had my hands on (I touched it physically) was 300W and costed more than a few 850W ATX PSUs from a well known brand. They just don't scale up.

OP better run out and find some small river; micro-hydro kicks butt. Again, you'll probably be better off selling the energy.

Probably your best option is to use a Raspberry Pi with some USB miners but don't expect to earn much.

Keep in mind that if you want to operate the miners during the night you will need batteries(and a charger).
The more you drain the batteries the shorter their lifespan will be.

Calculate your ROI very carefully and if you do setup a large installation make sure it is insured.

If you have to buy something to generate electricity, then it is not free.

But, yes, it is possible to power miners with solar energy.

Hi all

Its possible to mining with a solar energy?
maybe buy a device who support 12v and plug in the electricity in this adapter and mining with free electricity?

anyone try this?
