Gpu mining and hope you all actually stay and contribute to the community.
Gpu mining solar panels.
Stage 1 3 completed thanks to community for their support more gpus on the way.
Tam hunt the founder of a renewable energy project called community renewable solutions has outlined how solar energy could boost bitcoin mining while at the same time reduce energy consumption.
The mining rig should be operational 24 hours per day to maximize returns on investment.
As pcs consume a huge lot of energy and those who don t are equipped with atom and intel graphics meaning mining won t get you far with that equipment.
The idea of a solar mining rig is to use the suns power when available and off peak rates at night.
Enjoy the rewards while they last.
Mining operations with the tools and resources to be able to set up solar powered rigs in the desert are finding that it is a good investment.
Maybe merging solar and normal electricity is a good idea i can build a simple solar panel enough to feed the system through the day and then take the energy from the normal grid during night which here is cheaper at night getting max efficiency from both types of energy having a much affordable roi.
Let s go with that number and assume you live in a sunny ish city in us.
It largely depends on what machine you want to power with those solar panels.
Solar panels and mining.

Calculations based on eia data reveal that the average us household consumes about 1 2 kilowatts of power meaning that 343 megawatts would be enough to power 285 833 us homes at the time of writing may 2015.
You re definitely going nowhere with gpu based mining.
At this rate the bitcoin network runs at 342934450 watts which equates to around 343 megawatts.
In most places in us the power from solar energy you can get on an average day is about 5 kwh m 2 day 1.
That means that the wattage you get out of the solar panels is aro.
