Profitable mine on solar energy?
Source:
The mining Process is associated with a number of additional costs. Because in addition to a one-time purchase of the expensive equipment necessary to regularly pay a tidy sum for electricity. What happens if we abandon the conventional electricity from the socket and go to solar panels, which will supply farm for mining electricity? Believe.
First, to start the mine by using solar energy, you have to live where the sun is full all year round, or wait until the sale will be a new battery, able to produce electricity with equal efficiency round the clock. But we live here and now, so imagine yourself somewhere warm and Sunny place and head over to where the sale is now a unit.
Yes, one farm just consumes approximately one kilowatt per hour, but this is clearly not enough, and experts recommend to multiply the required capacity by four to output a recommended performance setting.
Looking for a complete package. for example. Ready system at 4 KW is about 3600 dollars, but taking into account the need to buy batteries here, and pay shipping already obtained about five thousand dollars.
Let one kWh costs 5 rubles. Thus, for 365 days farm consumes electricity for $ 700, and that means another five years — and solar installation we need the size and capabilities will defend ourselves. Not profitable in this case to invest in yet another farm?
Conclusion: solar energy for mining is certainly appropriate, but better still without it.
