In an environment similar to VA, a house I bought with a ‘whole house fan’. No one told me and I had this mystery switch on the wall.
Turned it one time and it exhausted all the hot air inside stall air out of the 2000st 2 story house,(I wouldn’t leave the AC on all day), and pulled in either cooler or at least fresh air in less than 10 minutes. Also got rid of a lost of air pollution, altho I didn’t think of that until years later.
With your machines having air vents in lieu of HAVC I wonder if having that ability might be useful.
These are cheap and available at Lowes , Home Depot etc.
Just a thought from my past. Frankly don’t understand why new homes don’t have one. If it cools down even a little at night it will lower your electric bill. Get rid of the hot air and residual heat in walls etc.
To make that setup worth while you have to either have no power to your house or be making massive amounts of excess electricity from solar or wind. I looked at getting one but the power I sent back to the grid per day would not fill a Tesla Powerwall. I have 16 solar panels and even in mid summer they only make just over 22kw per day so even if I didn’t use any of the power produced I still wouldn’t fill two Powerwalls.
Currently just over 27kW between the 2 arrays. Planning another 13kW on another array which will put me to the max at which I can get paid residential rates. I’d like to dunk 6 kd’s and 6 L7’s as well as a couple S19’s. Still watching prices. Electrician coming out this week for an estimate.
Are there 3 phase PS for the KD & L7, or has anyone successfully overclocked either?
In the summer I currently export quite a bit, but in the winter I use it all and then some. Once miners are running the solar will be a small offset even with the 3rd array.
I believe the panels on the ground were 400 W, and the ones on the roof were around 390 W. They are two different panels because I wanted the pure black on the roof, but the other ones were a bit lower price. I don’t know how much it was per panel, but for both arrays it was around $2.50/W installed.
I believe the 3 power walls we’re in the $33-35k range. It’s a lot more costly to have one installed because of the cost of the gateway, wiring, and all the other installation costs. So when you get multiple power walls the cost per unit goes down quite a bit. I wouldn’t doubt if it’s around $13-15,000 for just one, and then closer to that $9,000 each for the additional ones.
I have a 43 panel system roof mounted, takes up half my roof, generating 70-80 KWH on 20 of 30 days a month. I have near zero bills.the system is 14,061 watts rated. A House need a lot of panels to zero out your bill even more if you are a miner. In summer I pay because of the miners fighting the ac unit.

WOW! We only pull 20 and will have to scale. I have learned to have a certain setting to feedback on the battery during the last part of the peak hour. That’s a whole lot of power. I know for a fact that tax kick back was good. That’s what’s up!
I have no batteries at my house, NJ has Net Metering, not worth it except for back up potential. GPU mining ran my electric bill up. Now post merge GPU mining is all but dead I need to get a few ASICs to burn the excess energy, turning solar power into crypto assets.
Nj also gives solar owners $95 for each 1,000 KWH we produce even if not sent to grid. So the goverment is subsidies my mining operation. Win win in my book. I do send all the state incentives toward the solar loan, estimated ROI of my solar is 6 years, redirecting all these savings toward the loan, adding any cash value of electricity produce against the loan too.
14,061 watts rated, no battery system, grid tied, in NJ with net metering… plus NJ incentives of $95 for every 1,000 Kwh produced by solar. Since I killed my GPU RIG post merge, thinking of getting an asic or two to use up the excess power…
This might give you some idea’s for your 400amp container. I built 2 of these cubes in Feb March 2022 for Zettascale Tech.
They are 400amp 3ph 120/240 Delta units this design could be easily adapted to a single phase by just changing the main panel. Temps got up to 100 degrees and the humidity was up to 98% with no overheating in July.
I develop solar powered mining facilities.
I set up the first solar powered miner in the world. People told me I was stupid for doing it.
I just finished setting up another solar powered mining facility and am looking for more mining facilities to partner with. Give me a shout out and let’s get a couple megawatts of solar up and running for you.
I have a similar shed but I added r30 rockwool fireproof insulation to the inside walls and drywalled the inside. I keep the air inside filtered so that my asics run clean with minimal dust.
Mine only makes about 600 KwH a month in summer
