How about the cost of the machine? I remember they're about 2k USD?

I can’t deny that these aren’t the cheapest machines though 2k USD would get you two devices. You could probably buy a $100 S9 that gets you the same hashrate but for 1300w and a lot of noise + heat. I was searching for efficiency and having a refined device I could run in my living areas.

I like those odds anyway! I'm thinking about scaling up a bit since we're getting solar panels installed next month.

Oh is this solar setup just for mining? Or full home setup? Be cool to have updates about it!
I mean my ideal setup would be a diy black box with a Whatsminer or 2 humming away ideally with solar - mining to my Apollo node obviously 😉

Nah, its just for general electricity usage as there's a government subsidy and a lot if sun here. I'll see how much is going back to the grid during the day and try to find a suitable miner to fill that gap.
