Solar powered CPU mining

[Mr_Snipes]

People mostly now a days using solar power for earning their  money.

in most places it's about selling the energy subsidized to get profit out of it after some years.

Solar power is the cheapest way of providing power to you needy devices. Solar power has a lot of benefits. People mostly now a days using solar power for earning their  money. If you want to do mining I think solar power is the best power for your devices.

You could always try and see if solar energy is worth doing. Essentially it's free electricity unless you plan to put solar panels in just for this.

The only way solar mining is viable is if you live in the Arctics. You will for sure get your RoI within 6 months time of sunny days. Half of the year, your mining project is dead. If you have GPUs however, you can only mine in the day and turn your system off at night. You will be able to recoup your RoI faster. I heard that ASUS just released a new B250 board that is built specifically for GPU mining. It has 19 PCIE slots, and although it takes a lot of power, you can mine like a madman and recoup your investment in the quickest time too.

The cost of solar panels are very high. I guess the FREE electricity getting from them can't compensate for the cost.

The solar panels are usually subsidized by the government. I hope you can get the same kind of favor from the government. Otherwise I can't find a point to profit.

Some people are thinking that solar system is just for a low voltage devices high devices can’t run on solar system then its totally wrong because through solar system  very high voltage devices can be run if you have a proper solar system.

The most problem for people that want solar power is the needed space for the panels and if you want to safe some money you need a few of them and they take much space to install them !
Guess that the free Space is the most problem !

for the miner it is necessary the whole field of solar batteries. energy consumption is too high and large storage batteries are needed

I do this for fun, if you can, tie the system into the power grid and go at it.
Masternode coins like others said are best for small setups and off grid applications but will be very hard to make money.  Your biggest issue will be storing enough juice to keep it going during night and bad weather.
I have mine tied in to the grid, so while it's not stand alone, I'm always making something from the CPU plus any extra power goes to my house.  Much lower start up cost, helps lower electric bill and much less components needed.  Higher reliability as well.
I also use it as a media server and can throttle the miner as needed to keep things steady.  It's a lot of fun, just don't expect to get rich and enjoy it.
After a year I have saved 200KWh in electricity, and my setup cost $400 not including the computer which should last 10-20 years.  Coin income will most likely never pay off the computer but I use it for other things too so mehh.
This isn't much savings, around $15 but it is a fun hobby.

Edit, just noticed this was a necro thread, woops.

An extension of that is that mining requires a constant supply of energy, and solar alone
can't provide that.  Either the mining equipment sits idle at night or the system requires
batteries for storage. Either reduces the potential for profit significantly.

Solar power works best when the energy can be stored cheaply in a different form,
or when it's consuption can be scheduled to coincide with generation.

solar panels are not cheap, most likely with the help of them mining will pay off for a long time. it is better to find a free source of energy
