So for the next couple years my new solar system will generate excess power that I can't use, and I will be forced to accept 0.4c/kw wholesale rates on it. (The solar system is on my residential property that is in redevelopment and vacant during a lengthy permitting/design process…a year at least.)
My property has three structures but is gutted; it does have dual 200 amp panels in the main residence, and 50 amp panels in the two freestanding garages. There's a 13kw solar system on top.
Is there a rational crypto mining setup that would provide enough net return to make the investment worth it? My main concern would be avoiding too much noise so as not to disturb neighbors. It seems heat generation isn't too much of an issue since the properties are empty?
I also don't want to go through the investment/hassle just to earn $50 a month or something…
What do you think? I vow to report back on decisions/experiences/disasters.
mining (potential) newbie: my solar system is generating power I won't be able to use, can I monetize it realistically?

Do you have sufficient batteries to keep the ASICs running overnight for the 13kw solar system ?
When you say 13kw solar system does that mean what its advertised at or you are really pulling 13 kW/h when the sun is out and all of that is unused ?
