can i run an asic on battery?

[im0rtel]

getting grid connected with solar is a far better choice than a battery bank however keep in mind that if a blackout occurs your whole output is completely compromised. if a pole is hit by a storm or a rockfall or anything to break your wires than everything goes down including the asic farm. so if there is a blackout not only that the asic stop running because they take power from the grid but also you cant pump power into the grid back. its a fail fail recipe in case of a broken pole or simply some electricity guys doing maintenance on the grid.
also i would like to add that solar pannels are decaying in efficiency starting year 15 thats if they arent destroyed by hailstorm ice rain or by kids throwing rocks over the fence or simply burglars at work.
as for hydro the idea which looks better and better is to get more of these guys running along the river. build one in year 1 build second next year and so on till you  get a little farm of these guys depending on your needs.

How many hours of blackouts did you have last year?

Do it in small steps. Your ROI will be still longer though.

where i live i get 6 - 12 blackouts / year ranging from 3h to 12h.

as for hydro we are in agreement thats the plan even if its not a quicker roi as one 600 kwh plant.

@ Blackouts: I see. 6-12 a year is a LOT and would indeed be VERY annoying (could cause damage etc.)

Well, ok then with your hydro plans. Just make sure you get some technical company to give you a quote and advice before you decide to go ahead, even if you make "small" units like the one in the video posted, it is quite a bit of a challenge. and investment of course.

I would also look into renting warehouses/datacenters in your country where the power supply is more predictable and stable. It might work out cheaper all in all.

im a bit worried about the " clean power " part. what happens if the power isnt clean and what could be the cause of that. how to avoid it .

The power coming out of your charge controller will be clean.  The controller will be outputting to the batteries at optimum charging and to the DC out at 12VDC

If you can run the panels in series you could get a MPPT controller of the correct voltage/amp rating and get max power from those panels. 

If you are running the panels to separate devices each panel will need its own controller.

I did mining on Solar Panel + Battery + Grid combination and it is very successful and running since last month.
I connected three S3 miners directly to the battery with a 24V to 12V DC-DC convertor and the converter gives constant 12.5V output.
In your case adding one more 240W solar panel will give some breath to the miners, but 2 SPs will be just ok if the panels are good. Remember, Solar Panel or Charge Controller will supply voltage well above 12V to your battery and if you are connecting miners directly to the battery when solar panels/chargecontrollers are working will just kill your miners. Use a DC-DC (12V to 12V or 24V to 24V) convertor for this purpose.

allcominer thank you very much for your reply , cleared alot of my doubts .
