Solar for Cryto

Crypto Mining Power: Going Green with RenewSolar

Cryptocurrency mining is a demanding process, and reliable power solutions are crucial for success. Here at RenewSolar, we can help you navigate the world of sustainable crypto mining with a wide range of expertise and hardware.

Scaling Your Power Needs:

• Small Scale Mining (under 3kW):
  • Grid-tied solar can be a viable option for daytime mining.
  • Solar offsets power needs, reducing mining and home energy costs, but isn’t suitable for 24/7 operation.
  • Consider our micro-solar hardware for a cost-effective setup.
• Serious Mining (3kW – 10kW):
  • Off-grid solutions offer independence from the main grid and enable 24/7 mining.
  • To account for cloud cover, plan for 40% more solar capacity. (The good news: panel prices have dropped!)
  • Consider the Bitmain S21 miner with a 3500W load. Off-grid avoids permit hassles.

The Math Behind Off-Grid Mining:

• Daily Power Consumption:
  • Bitmain S21: 3500W x 24 hours = 84 kWh per day
  • Grid cost estimate: £24 per day
• Solar Power Needs:
  • Assuming 4 peak sun hours (winter: 2 hours, summer: 8-10 hours)
  • Required solar array size: 21,000W (approximately 51 panels at a cost of £3,330)
  • Solar panels offer a 10+ year lifespan, making the upfront cost more manageable (around £330 per year). Annual grid cost savings: £8,760.
• Battery Storage:
  • Recommended: 6 x 15kWh batteries (slightly more than needed to account for conversion losses) – approximately £12,000
• Inverters:
  • Off-grid inverters with parallel function are ideal (provide backup and charging capacity) – estimated cost: £850-£1500 per unit (2 needed)

Optimizing Your System:

• While running on solar reduces battery and panel needs, panels are the more cost-effective option.
• Summer sun hours can reach 8, maximizing power generation.
• Explore our resources on panel angles and tilt optimization to maximize year-round yield.
