Solos Solar Array production stats - July 2026

Another productive month of producing power on the farm. We cleared over 3 megawatt hours again this month. Need to clear the weeds around the solar panels, so just a close up for this month for the cover photo. You can see some goldenrods and other plants trying to reach through.. lol

Probably have another couple more productive months before we start to see a drop in solar. But for now we are pretty much in the middle of the summer so production should be good for awhile. The new cable on array c seems to be holding up well. After the weeds die back ill check on the ditches and see if I need to add more dirt, but I already covered them. But they may need more.

In the month of July we produced 3297.5 kWh (3.29 Mwh) on the farm.

Using excess solar power the farm mined 0.00148763 Bitcoin valued at $95.25 based on the current Bitcoin price of $63,103

Mining hardware: 2x Bitmain Antminer S21 Pros running at 7800 watts. Cooled using AC Infinity inline fans.

ohh... I know its an older post, but was just reading as i was considering a post about our new "off grid" solar we had put in here in Aus. Thats some decent power generation you have there!

Anyway Just saying Hi as was stopping past. BLINGIT
@mysteriousroad(72)· 23d
Wow! Amazing results … all are shows your hard work and how you maintain weeds away and clean the solor plate 😃.
@bozz(83)· 25d
Churning along! Very nice! I'm glad to see it is working well still!
@zulfrontado(72)· 25d
I have a question: in the months when there is no sun, like winter or the rainy months like in Venezuela, do you still have electricity? And how?

Strong month for solar power production and reaching 3 megawatt hours is quite solid. And mining Bitcoin on top of that is quite smart. You use it for own consumption and mining Bitcoin or also selling power to electric vendors?
@mhe(67)· 26d
Wow great! It's really good that there is solar because it helps the community a lot, especially when there is no electricity in an area. Solar is a great help because it can produce light and save energy.And then help is also good for farmers, especially those who need help on the farm.

Nice work. 100kWh per day is pretty good. I'm generating about 40kWh for now. I'd get more if it were facing south, but had to go with the roof we have. With the export rate we get that may be more profitable than mining. Solar is really booming in the UK now.
@reachdreams(73)· 26d
I am happy to hear that the results achieved are excellent. Hopefully, electricity production remains high through the end of summer.
