Why solar and no hydro?
We're just talking home mining. I actually think this is right up your alley, because I'm calling for serious decentralization. But not many folks in this region have the opportunity for personal hydro dams.

You don't have to build a "personal dam" to mount a micro hydro.
ANY creek or small river can provide more than 1000W with a small turbine, 24/7, continuous 220V, without any battery crap. Solar? You need a lot of batteries and a lot of sun hours... That means also maintenance and battery replacement.
So yeah, if you have access to a small river, you can build a lot of miners, with free energy.
btw... I am building one, for myself.

Also when you say batteries it means somebody was doing hard work to dig up for those rare minerals to build the batteries. When those batteries are dead (mostly after 1 year) what you gonna do with them? On the other hand, hydro doesn't have any residual.

That’s awesome!
