Prt 5 The Solar Panels Powering the Free Energy Crypto Mining Setup - 12 Volt dc life -
The recap of a previous blog, this set is powering :
The attic crypto mining setup
2 quad core pcs
2 4gb Gpus r9380xstrix, 4x460 nitro
1 bitman antminer
3 monitors - all 12v inputs direct
Front are the "morning set" of panels and are hooked up to a hybrid charge controller that also runs the wind generator. These panels put out max 140 watts after powerloss due to cables, controller, panel age, length of DC wire run, etc... They are good from about 7am to 4pm.
Back of the picture are the powerhouses - they are each made in Japan 180 watt (purchased used) about 5 years old 80-85% of full power able. These starting cooking about 11:00, fry around 14:00 and don't settle down till about 20:00. The three of them max out about 370 watts after powerloss due to cables, controller, panel age, length of DC wire run, etc... All in all by the time the cables get to the PC's and GPUs on a OK part sun day its about a 400 steady watt spark which means I am running both quad core pc's and both GPU's while working on one of the pcs and monitors. The rest of the excess power is used to charge the 4 12v batteries to run this setup at night - sometimes the strix has to come off overnight though if theres not enough juice in the batts, unless there is wind
Nice set-up!
