Array-C is fully up and running, producing over 12kw of solar at its peak so far. I ran a new cable to replace the one that was acting up. With all three strings in use now we are nearly using the full utilization the Solark 15k. It feels good to be fully up and running once again.

We had a few cloudy days, so if we get more clear days in June I am thinking we will be over the 3 megawatt hour total amount if all goes well and they work out. As we reach mid summer I think we should see the three megawatt hour threshold broken.

With all this power coming in, I am able to run the Bitcoin miners all day. Unless I have to charge a vehicle or its really cloudy. So its good to be fully using those as well.

In the month of May we produced 2861.9 kWh (2.86 Mwh) on the farm.

Using excess solar power the farm mined 0.00043665 Bitcoin valued at $31.33 based on the current Bitcoin price of $71,773

Mining hardware: 2x Bitmain Antminer S21 Pros running at 7200 watts.

nice way of mining BTC , as long as the price stays up .

Hah.. yeah funny how that works

I'm glad the new cable seems to have taken care of your issue! We've had some amazing days for solar over the past week. Too bad I still don't have any panels!

@solominer | June 4, 2026, 3:03 p.m. | Votes: 16 | [ VOTE ]

Thanks much. I am happy it's now fully functioning again.

It's been quite bright over here too.

@thekittygirl | June 1, 2026, 4:26 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Do you have to clean the panels periodically, perhaps with a squeegee and a bucket of water? Or hose them down? Or just let 'em be...? They probably collect dust over time, which I would think would lessen their efficiency. 🤔

I usually only clean them doing the winter when the snow covers them. They do get quite dusty during spring from all the pollen. But the rain usually washed them off on their own.

If I start to see grime building up I'll do more but not yet.

You are not using your bitaxes as lottery miners?

@solominer | June 4, 2026, 3:10 p.m. | Votes: 15 | [ VOTE ]

No... I looked into them and they are at best the same J/TH (15). So if I wanted to solo mine I might as well just run one rig for that and one on a pool. And with only one rig solo mining I have around a one percent chance.

I may try solo mining but probably with my existing rigs.

the best invesment i would like do the same but its expensive here :(

@solominer | June 4, 2026, 3:04 p.m. | Votes: 15 | [ VOTE ]

Yep it is quite costly.

@bitmoving | June 2, 2026, 3:55 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Interesting to see the solar-to-BTC pipeline running at scale. What's the effective hashrate you're running off the surplus?

I've been tracking how mining economics shift when energy is a byproduct rather than the primary cost — it changes the break-even math significantly. Also curious: with summer months giving you more daylight hours, do you see a proportional hash increase, or is there a battery bottleneck in the middle?

@solominer | June 4, 2026, 3:06 p.m. | Votes: 14 | [ VOTE ]

Yeah it is a good way to use up that excess solar. My two miners produce 468TH.

Honestly this is the first month I am fully up and running. Previous months I had string issues limiting my operations.

So we shall see in the winter how much less I produce.

I have 12 solar panels and hybrid Inverter which can provide upto 20- 30 kWh daily and from night shift I also bought Lithium battery 🔋 which work better now, do you says 31$ per month or for a day?
