Solos Solar Array production stats - May 2026

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. Only one was in use for April due to array issues.

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

$0.00

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!

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. 🤔
