How many acres you have?
Are you in a state that will promo solar?
Ie 200 acres for crops could have 10 acres set for solar if you are in the right state.
10 acres for solar could be 2 megawatts which translate to about 333 kwatts 24/7/365 if you can grid tie.
depends on the state you are in.
1200 acres of row crops, and 100 acres of woods.
Yeah you certainly have the room. The question is what programs does your state have.
We have
a 45kwatt array on a commercial building
a 115kwatt array on a 3 acre property part ground mount part on a barn part on a home.
a 350kwatt array in progress on a warehouse complex that house our main mining farm.
on grid tie setups take the full power number divide by 5 to 6 to get the 24/7/365 number
so
45+115+350= 510/5 = 102 to 510/6 = 85
so they will range 85-102 kwatt 24/7/365 average depending on a rainy year vs a dry year.
so 85 x 24 x 365 = 744600 to 102 x 24 x 365 = 893520
744600 kwatts is 29,784 usd a year at 4 cents 595568 usd at 8 cents. and at current btc mining of 18 cents 134028 usd
893520 is 35740 4 cents 71481 cent and at current btc mining of 18 cents 160833
I use 4 cents as the power company will pay 4 cents for your power
I use 8 cents as you are allowed to sell to you neighbor at 8 cents
the 18 cents is tricky a kwatt will run an s9 at 11th 11th earns 3.52 /24 = 14.67 cents so all s9's will do only 14.67 cents not 18 cents. but an s17 will do 50 th at 2 kwatts or 16 / 48 = 33.33 cents earnings per kwatt
so if you have some s9 and some s17 and average 14.67 with 33.33 you get 18 cents or more or less. In our case we are more likely earning 25 cents for each kwatt we burn.
which means next year when we build all the solar we will earn about 223380 for the solar power we generate. this excludes all government subsidies.
The small arrays are paid off. The big one will finish in the spring of 2022 and with luck pay off in 4-8 years.
Unless we get a monster runup.
