Calculations based on eia data reveal that the average us household consumes about 1 2 kilowatts of power meaning that 343 megawatts would be enough to power 285 833 us homes at the time of writing may 2015.
Gpu mining solar panels.
That s quite a lot of energy about a third of the homes in san jose.
Gpu mining and hope you all actually stay and contribute to the community.
Stage 1 3 completed thanks to community for their support more gpus on the way.
Maybe merging solar and normal electricity is a good idea i can build a simple solar panel enough to feed the system through the day and then take the energy from the normal grid during night which here is cheaper at night getting max efficiency from both types of energy having a much affordable roi.
Mining operations with the tools and resources to be able to set up solar powered rigs in the desert are finding that it is a good investment.
Solar panels provide inexpensive power.
At this rate the bitcoin network runs at 342934450 watts which equates to around 343 megawatts.
The idea of a solar mining rig is to use the suns power when available and off peak rates at night.
It largely depends on what machine you want to power with those solar panels.
As pcs consume a huge lot of energy and those who don t are equipped with atom and intel graphics meaning mining won t get you far with that equipment.
The mining rig should be operational 24 hours per day to maximize returns on investment.

You re definitely going nowhere with gpu based mining.
The equivalent daytime cost of utlity power in australia is around 20 30 cents per kwh with off peak rates between 10 and 20 cents per kwh.
In most places in us the power from solar energy you can get on an average day is about 5 kwh m 2 day 1.
Let s go with that number and assume you live in a sunny ish city in us.
That means that the wattage you get out of the solar panels is aro.
