Nice setup and videos. Really like seeing what other people have going on in the "home" miner sections.

When I was in Nevada my all-in elec was around the $0.115, so pretty high. As the guy above said, Washington has pretty dang cheap power.

long term and to pay it off then a huge farm is needed and that will take sometime.

 My farm is not "huge" by any measure.
 
 I just don't insist on living "high on the hog" while I get it established and grow it.

I'm fully aware of the issues of moving - I just DID so last summer.

 If you're going to be serious about long-term profitable mining, though, you NEED to get somewhere with low electric cost.



Quint, could you share how much the lease is per sf?

Renvu (large solar supplier in CA) is running a free shipping special this week, so I broke down and ordered 48 280W panels and the needed ground mount hardware to do another 2 x 24 panel arrays.  This will boost my production by another 13.44Kw.  Cheesy

These are the panels I got:

https://www.renvu.com/Solar-Products/Mono-Poly-Crystalline-Solar-Modules/AXITEC-AXIBlackPremium-280W-ALL-BLACK-Mono

That should bring my cost per kWh back down close to $ 0.00 per kWh, at least until I add a bunch more rigs.
ugh, I'm so jealous of your setup that makes it . . even more awesome xD

Honestly its clearly deserved though as the amount of work you put in is insane

When you're looking at solar array pieces, what is the ideal $ for power formula? so roughly what you just ordered is 200x48 output = 13.44 kw ?

 Where I'm at right now, about 50 cents per square foot per month for a space that is about half office, half warehouse setup - but this can vary widely, Wenatchee is noticeably higher most of the time on the Craigslist listings I've seen in the size range I keep an eye on (but probably lower on LARGE spaces, like most areas).


 I'm wondering when OP is going to rig up a large hamster-type wheel for his kid to run on to generate a few extra watts.
