Lol that pretty much sums it up. You can but don't want to use solar power to power your rigs. You will never achieve the cost efficiency that your electric company can provide. You are looking at something like 10 years ROI which in btc mining terms is several lifetimes.

You could do this and would be making a good long term investment that with tax credits could pay off in 5 years or less. But if you're doing it just for Bitcoin and short returns, the others are right, you're wasting your time. However, you really can't lose if you're in it for 5 years, as sooner or later, regardless of whether BTC pays off, the electricity being paid off will pay for itself.

Check out Solar City to see if you are eligible for panel  grid connected leasing (solarcity.com). My area has a Harbor Freight that sells DYI but the quality...eeeessh.
Coindesk had an article about a Solarcoin. If you are grid connected you get coins. 

There 'used' to be more truth in forums than anywhere else.  Twitter:  @cryptobitchicks  Spock: "I am expressing multiple attitudes simultaneously. To which are you referring?"  INTJ-A

There are a few cheap ones on Amazon. Wink

http://www.amazon.com/RENOGY-Monocrystalline-Photovoltaic-Battery-Charging/dp/B009Z6CW7O/

$150 for 100 watts, not that huge of a panel either. You have a 850 watt and 1200 watt, so 2050 watts are needed. Just buy 21 of these panels, or $3000 worth. You would also need a few 12v batteries, charge controller, and a grid-tie inverter. All excess power that you make will be sold off to the power grid, earning you even more money. Power can be stored in the batteries for usage at night.
