Would it be more safer to buy coins instead of mining? After calculating the costs of buying cards and setting up solar panels with batteries and inverter i see that costs are too gigantic if one plan to run cards for 24 hrs everyday, is anyone mining using diesel generator? Bad idea?
The only way that makes any sense for solar at this point is to mine only when your system is producing enough power to run your equipment and shut down overnight.
Make it automated so you don't have to think about it and just let it run.
Don't even think about trying to run 24/7 with batteries.

Depending on what country you are in diesel may be still a viable option, look into the Lister low RPM engines, they run forever with very low maintenance and very low fuel usage.

Why is running on battery 24/7 a bad idea? Tell me, because it's all down to the watt of your graphic card and the available watt on the battery, it's damn possible to run a miner on battery for 24/7 without damaging the battery and charge is up when the sun is up, it's all calculations

Running the machines while the solar panel leep charging the batteries I think will work. Its just unsure if its energy can support 247, I think if its combined with power turbine, it can last.

I have the same plan back in 2018 but wasnt realized because I would have to buy a piece of land near a coastline. Its going to need more capital for that.

Yes it is possible, I don't say it's a bad idea but do the calculations for your system and you will see how expensive it gets.
I do CPU mine 24/7 on batteries so I hear you. As a mater of fact I even have a CPU miner that runs 24/7 in my latest solar experiment for heat to control condensation,

If you are only running a couple GPU's then it's easy to do, but even 1 or 2 S9's and your talking a lot of money in batteries.
So I vote for cheap = no batteries but slow mining.
