My view here is, it's practically impossible to see free electricity anywhere. Because any transmitted or distributed voltage is at a cost.
Even if you are using solar, you must procured a  panel and battery  to store power.
Hash rate is like a weapon's power in a war. So, relying entirely on the hash rate generated by solar panels, it's impossible to be a truly profitable Bitcoin miner, even if I were to join a pool. I've calculated this scenario with the most realistic ROI possible. In short: if mining this way (on a retail scale) made sense, everyone would be mining.

I know some people here are using free electricity to mine cryto, or electricity that is so cheap it's practically free. Tell me how do you make it?

Build one yourself.

The only way to have free electricity today is by building a wind turbine or a solar farm, you will never pay for electricity bill again, but if you believe that somewhere out there people are mining for free it's a blunt lie.

Even if you find one, believe when I say that someone out there is paying for those bills, and it's only a matter of thing before they trace it back to your illegal connection, unless your miner is taking few watts like those solo miners that don't take alot like 100watts or so.

Just know that you aren't mining for free, someone is stealing electricity here.

100 watts is only 72 kilowatts per month, so if your price is 20 cents, you'll pay $15 per month. I'd just plug this device into an outlet and not even think about fancy turbines and other equipment. Sometimes it's not worth reinventing the wheel.
