The age of cryptocurrencies is upon us. It’s the future and it’s time we start to embrace it for all its worth. Mining for these online cryptocurrencies takes power and lots of it. Especially if you have a 6 GPU mining rig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I will show you how you can mine different cryptocurrencies using solar panels for free energy. The cost of electricity is one of the biggest factors in working out the profit you can make. With solar, you can take out this expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar-Powered Bitcoin Mining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways to get free power is to break the law and use your neighbor’s power. This will most likely result in you going to jail. It’s the same if you use power from your place of employment without permission is a big no-no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legal way is to install an Eco-Worthy solar panel kit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are a simple DIY solar kit designed to deliver cheap power to a deep cycle battery and then to the pure sine wave inverter to be used by your mining rig. I like that all the hard work in planning is done for you. All that is required is to plug it all together and go mine some bitcoin or another cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\"\"\n\n\n\n

There are a few different sized solar kits available starting from 100w and going all the way up to 1000w. There is also nothing stopping you from installing more solar panels as your budget allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a pure solar setup which means at night you won’t be generating any power only consuming it. I have noticed a trend to start using small domestic wind turbines which supplement the power generation during the day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bitcoin mining with solar and wind power<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These solar and wind turbine kits are extremely simple to hook up and you don’t even need to hook them into the grid. You can be your own little power station generating free power for your solar and wind cryptocurrency mining machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\"\"\n\n\n\n

This way if it is cloudy, at least the wind turbine will still be spinning and generating enough power for your crypto miner. I haven’t installed a wind turbine yet, but it is my next purchase so stay tuned for that review.\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off-Grid Pure Sine Wave Inverter – What does it do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most important features of any backup solar system is the Inverter. These convert the 12v battery power to a more user-friendly 110\/120v AC power. This is where your computer or bitcoin mining rig will plug into.<\/p>\n

The two features to look out for are the maximum power rating and the process it uses to convert DC power into AC power.<\/p>\n

Some cheaper Solar inverters will use a process called modified sine waves. This is basically some very basic clipping of the DC circuit to simulate a sine wave.<\/p>\n

The more expensive Pure Sinewave Inverters will use oscillating pulses via an IC circuit or a transistorized circuit with very fine clipping. These oscillators will run at the frequency of what is required for your electronic power eg 50Hz or 60Hz.<\/p>\n
