Hi Guys

Long time and I'm glad to be back.  I used to have a nice little set-up running x13 Newpacs's and x2 R606 pods on x2 Pi4's at a stable 3.4TH/s for weeks at a time.  I have retired most of the equipment, but looking to get back into it under solar power.  Has anyone done this, are there any good links within the fourm and is this actually sustainable 24/7 with the correct set-up?  I was planning on x2 12v 100Ah batteries in parallel, a 600W solar panel, 60A charge controller and a 3000W inverter.  I will only be running x1 Pi4 and x1 GS hub for now.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

It sure would be cool to figure out how to skip the inverter and keep everything low voltage DC. If you got some lithium batteries, everything could run on 5V

I wonder if it would be better to take any money you would have spent on batteries, and just buy more miners and solar panels — and just mine during the day.

Either way that sounds like a great project! Excited to hear more about what you end up doing.

okay  use a 5 for low and a 6 for high

5 x 600 = 3000
6 x 600 = 3600

the gear will provide 3.0 to 3.6 kwatts over 24 hours

so 3.60/24 = 150 watts max power 24/7/365

or 3.00/24 =125 watts more likely 24/7/365

So you can do a bit of gear a few usb sticks maybe 4 or 5 sticks.

or maybe 1 apollo at 110 watts.
