So I've been lazy about this, but I've been intending to do an economic of the system I've had installed for some time.
In short, a 8kh with 24kwh battery backup leaves me with plenty of overage to send back to the grid where I live. I get about .1/ kwh I send back to the grid (I don't but this require more detail on why), and I would get .2-.6 /kwh if I run an antminer s9. I would need 6 to match the total demand I have at peak generation and the additional cost would be ~3k (32k for the whole solar system, so total 35kish). Only doing bitcoin on my surplus angry pixies would basically cover the cost of the solar loan, the power bill, and maybe some extra.
Basically, through a combination of subsidies, geography, and credit score, if you've got the technical know-how, in my region one could effectively not have a power bill through a combination of solar and bitcoin mining.
- flatiron 5y agoI took a boat ride yesterday and on the dock I asked my friend if they pay a flat rate for electricity or per kwh. He said a flat rate. Which obviously I joked we should mine Bitcoin on his boat. But I really wonder if we would get caught doing it.
