Topic: New buildout with buysolar has entered stage 2. - page 9. (Read 4253 times)

Yeah  so far so good.

nice! this is what I want to do on my side lot! especially since the electric company is being a dick about installing a transformer.

to put it in one time to get approval for the 1000 panels system,
but  if we shut the mining down  and just look to sell the power back to the power company we can do it after 1 year of mining.

NJ law is good for solar. In fact we may get a new law that lets  us sell to our neighbors at 8 cents  vs 4 cents to power company.  But that is another pair of sleeves.

We ordered 2 more m10's  and will be getting them by weds or thurs.
the build out is stable enough..

3  s9's dropped off

the braiins software dropped out 1-20-12:45 could be a fuse issue

a standard s9 dropped out          1-20-16:30
a standard s9 dropped out          1-18-21:55

37th off

3x  l3+ dropped off all at the same time  1-20-12:45  could be a fuse issue

2100+800 = 2900  maybe they are on a 14amp fuse  and 2900/240 = 12.2 amps  which is close

That would mean 2  troubled units.  not  6
We are bring more pdu's  when we go up  should solve load issues.

but  the other 36 units are all good.

1x  s7ln
1x  t2turbo24
1x A921
2x A721
4x m10
16x s9

place was so fucking loud I could not hear myself think so I will bring head phones and ear plugs

Are you required to justify the power demand annually, or only 1 time?

Yes  this will be the second one.

If it works well we will be trying to add one or two each year.

This is grid tied we don't need no stinking batteries


1000 x 300 watt panels = 300,000  kwatts or 300 kwatts.  we mine with 40 kwatts of that 300 kwatts   and sell 260 kwatts  each hour of sunlight

so 5 hours on average full sun   is  19 hours you need to buy back


so in a day  we sell 5 x 260 = 1300 kwatts    then buyback   19 x 40 = 760 kwatts

the power company charges  more for the buy back then the sell   so   the 1300 we sell  earns about 800 to buyback

we do a push or break even with the power company  that acts as the battery system.

the power company  gets a gain  of 1300-760 = 540 kwatts a day

we end up with 40 x 24 = 960 kwatts  at no cost each day


You need a lot of space  for 1000 x 300 watt panels this warehouse has them.  It is about 200,000 sq ft  edit 95000 sq foot roof

I will do more post and photos over time.

This part of the buildout is where we create a power demand  to justify the 300kwatt roof top system.

we are pulling 47kwatts at power company price of 11 cents  that is about  47 x 24 x 30 = 33,840 monthly kwatts at 11 cents = 3800 usd

we need to do this for 4 months  for about 16000 in power cost.  This is part of the startup cost for the solar setup.

say the 300kwatts = $600,000

 then add 16,000  power
and add 10,000    mining gear
 and 4,000 wiring structure =  

 630,000 to build the system

then the federal and NJ incentives are based on that number

most of the cost is for the panels the incentives make it viable.

THIS DOES NOT WORK IN MANY STATES

it does work in NJ

Video quality not so great but good enough, very nice set up there, Solar is a great idea, but batteries are the greatest liability of the system. how do you handle such a problem?

more info to come.

Buysolar and I have been mining  together since  2014

He built a solar array back in 2016

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/solar-array-starting-to-look-good-1369207


and we caught the big runup in fall of 2017 very well

So we have been trying to find locations to build a new array.

We now have a spot that will have 1000   300 watt panels

that is a 300kwatt array  when grid tied it is about 300/7 = 43Kwatts 24/7/365

first stage was putting in 200th worth of btc miners
second stage was putting in 200 more th worth of btc miners
along with 6 gh of ltc miners.

I will post a youtube video soon.
