We hear a lot about Solar and wind in the renewable energy sector in relation to sustainable mining.
Are any of you miners getting grid power from hydro? What are the rates compared to other renewables

My friend lives near a hydro damn, maybe 15 minutes away and his residential electric rate is around 6.5 cents a kw and business rates are around 4.5 cents.

I live in my RV and I’v got a small solar system on it… It came with a couple of mismatched panels up top, a 20 amp mppt controller, 2 deep cycle lead acid batteries and a 1200 inverter. I’ve upgraded all the hardware except the wires… which is limiting the use of my Xantrec 2000 Prowatt inverter. I’ve got 2 separate mining rigs (2 cpu’s and 3 gpu’s) and 2 mini (Doge and KDA) miners.
So the upgraded hardware consists of 4 100Ah lithiums, 4 400w panels, a 150\100 Victron controller, CERBO with touch 50 and a BMV 712 smart monitor. I’m am pretty sure one of the MC4 connectors isn’t connecting… as The panels only get about 800 -+ 30 watts 99.9% of the time. ONCE it got just over 1000 watts. They should be averaging about 1300 watts or more… Just don’t have alot of time to mess with it. I do also have a couple of 400w wind generators that I want to hook up as well… These are more of learning projects for now. Am saving to buy some land and then I’ll install them and triple the solar and the batteries too… Gonna ditch the cpu\gpu miners and stick with ASICS.

Awesome work their my man its my end goal to go off grid with respect to power eventually love the freedom that would bring
