Bitcoin Mining With Solar: Less Risky and More Profitable ...
Bitcoin mining is forcing me to go solar power. I just installed solar panels to run my miners during the day. Not only does my house get heated but I cut the mining cost by 75%. Why? It's not just the cheapest form of energy, but I get rid of the grid-transfer cost and tax (=75%!)
"We are now spending more electricity mining bitcoin than is produced by all the worlds solar panels combined. So we have eliminated all the progress that we made on green energy, just through bitcoin use."

I stay in an area that gets strong direct sun 365 days of the year. Is it worth mining using a couple (10 odd) antminers. I’m still unsure if the cost benefits. I’ll be building out the entire setup.
[SMT] Bitcoin mining rig that incorporates solar panels to supply unlimited/free power for unlimited mining
I'm someone who's just getting into cryptocurrencies, and found that most people run into the issue of not having "free electricity" and are discouraged to mine bitcoins. I feel this would be a very profitable invention for someone who makes this, and would be happy to market it if someone does end up making it on the most popular forum for bitcoins. I just know for a fact, that there would be no way for me to try and do this.
Solar energy is a commodity that is available everywhere. Bitcoin mining could therefore become as decentralized as solar panel manufacturing. This is encouraging.
Would it be wise to install Solar panels and get free electrity to mine bitcoin?
I want to start mining at home with a couple of miner s9s but I pay about 10 cents per watt, So would it be wise to install solar panels to my house and then start mining with a lower or maybe free electricity? Or maybe mine other altcoins at best ?
Column: 2. At this rate, the bitcoin network runs at 342934450 watts, which equates to around 343 megawatts. 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). That’s quite a lot of energy – about a third of the homes in San Jose. If Bitcoin "goes to the moon", the profit will be better with buying than mining, though. GPU mining is less risky since GPUs are more universal. In case of ASIC mining, the miners are worthless if both Bitcoin price tanks, or there is a breakthrough in mining that makes the old miners obsolete. Bitcoin mining alone (at the individual, hobbyist scale) is unlikely to warrant new investment in solar panel technology, as the upfront costs for such deployments can be quite high. Our full system setup comes to around $220 in equipment, primarily dominated by the startup costs for a panel and batteries. One Bitcoin miner in Australia explains how their off-grid Bitcoin mine is only profitable and possible BECAUSE of solar: “I have a 1.7kw off the grid solar power setup where I am, it’s a remote mining town in Lightning Ridge Australia. You couldn’t run a GPU farm economically, but FPGAs work fine. I get 1.5GH/sec at 100w from the FPGAs and 350MH/sec at 100w from the GPU.
