Why wouldn’t you just parallel more of those batteries use those extra panels and run through the night instead of having to do all the turn on and turn off in the morning and night
@BradCagle
@BradCagle 2 года назад
I do have a larger setup that does just that. I just wanted to show people how easy, and inexpensive it is to get started. Also right now with how low profitability is, it's going to be hard for people to justify the cost of enough battery to run through the night. For example I have a system that runs through the night with three RTX a4000's it has 8kw of battery, that's the equivalent of 13 of those batteries in this video.

Brilliant analysis!! I'm researching & learning solar so I know mono-crystalline panels are best. Ever experimented with Cigs Amorphous panels for early morning late evening power that the mono and poly panels can't compete with? I realize we have 500 plus watt panels which are more efficient than Cigs but they are getting better again due to Texas Instruments and others. What I like is they perform in low light conditions where the crystalline panels are lacking. Would love to see a video on Cigs but don't go buy panels, maybe a company could loan you a panel or just review the market and tell us what you think.

@antonioveloy9107
@antonioveloy9107 Месяц назад
Nice idea. You can go up as high as 14,4V if stacking a few old car batteries toghether, and those are pretty cheap to get now that everyone has Li-Ion and they are interchangeable if the event of a unit dying out, which can happen a lot depending on the age of the battery - but that's ok considering the low cost. The only thing to consider here would be that when the batteries go low the pc should power down before they are completely drained because low voltage can stress components and the batteries itself, some auto-turnoff feature is required. Note: Battery port will act just as Load port once batteries are drained, this is because the battery loads up as much as possible and at the same time gives out the required amperage of the components, if the output threshold is higher than the input, sooner or later the batter port will only act as if the load port was connected, therefore you would have to actively monitor the voltage and cut off when under a certain level bacause if you don't you risk component failure.

My setup burns 650 watts, that's comprises 3 cards plus about 30 watts for the rest of the system. I have plans to keep expanding, especially if I don't have to pay 100% of the power, and I want to run 24/7. I can supplement the overnight power needs with wind generators, but I will likely also need to switch to grid power from time to time. Got any recommendations on equipment for that?
@BradCagle

Yes, I working on a simple grid fallback. So you run off solar when available, and fallback on the grid when not. The way I'm thinking might be super simple, and maybe no battery at all. Stay tuned.

@@BradCagle Which lithium battery run at 24 hours?
@BradCagle
@BradCagle Год назад
@@Zeuswashington Depends on the power draw of your rig. For example lets say your rig uses 300w continuously. Lets say you have a 100ah 12.8v battery. 100ah x 12.8v = 1280wh. So we take 1280wh and divide it by your rig power of 300w, and we get 4.2 hours or runtime. So not enough, but if we triple the battery capacity to 300ah we get 12.6 hours of runtime. So depending on the season, and your locay that might get you through the night so the solar can take over in the morning.

You should use a Fly back Diode for the Relay, because it can Store much Energy and if you diaconnect it it gives a big voltage Spike, witch can destroy the load stage of the solar charge controller

Yes this is normally desired, however this relay has a built-in economizer circuit that greatly minimizes the holding current, and includes the flyback diode on that circuit.

The only thing I see wrong with solar and gpu’s is scaleability. Along with reliability of consistent power. Some northern states like Washington where it rains 200 days out of 365 that wouldn’t work! It’s cheap for the panels. It’s cheap for the gear. The batteries 🔋 is what kills ya! Even wind 🌬 is nice but the wind doesn’t blow all the time just like the sun doesn’t shine all the time. Yet you want to mine all the time. How’s that goin to work?!. Like I said you can get batteries to store extra energy. The problem with that is it cost more than the systems! The only way I can see that would work is micro hydro… How many have a stream flowing enough for that?!. Unless we can discover a batter way to get more out than what we put in. Money or energy one ☝️

The load port on the MPPT controller can only handle 10 amps (I think 15 max) which would limit power to the mining rig at 10a x 13.8v = 138w . Using that particular relay wired in allows 500amps, which is overkill but gets you well passed that 138w limit.

@BradCagle
@BradCagle Год назад
Yes, you can use the amazon 24 to 12v dcdc converters. However I personally would not trust my expensive GPUs with those. Reason being if they fail, your mining rig might get the full 24v. The best way to do it is to use galvanic isolated dc/dc converters, this means there is no direct link to the higher voltage, not even the ground. So look for this kind of converter. The ones I use in my other video you commented on are 48v to 12v 1/4 brick isolated DC/DC, they are modules used in telecom. This is the one www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/826-ADQ800-48S12B-4L Now these are modules, so you have to build a few supporting components around it (a few caps). You might google search "galvanic isolated dc/dc converters" and find something ready to go.

In my place, i counted for 1200W, for 24hours at 28800Wh. I will need 32 batteries 12V 110Ah.. to buy that many batteries its crazy expensive and not worth. Better buy the coins.

Yeah, batteries are a big expense. I have an Idea to that requires no batteries, and will fall back to the AC grid when the sun is not providing. Should be super simple, just need to find the time to do it.

Thanks for the video! One thing i don't understand, how is that relay allowing you to get more than 15A from that DC output? What kind of relay is that? More explanation from that part would be much appreciated 🙏 Thanks again

Hi Brad. Great video. Thanks for that. 😀 I'm very curious if you can share little bit about your own complicated setup? I just wanted to get a picture how can we run many mining machines with this setup easiest way possible. Because the way you show can be a good solution but to run many machines at same time can be an issue, so therefor I would like to know, how do you do it? Thanks 🙂

Love this video man, thank you! Question for you, if the load terminal on the charge controller can handle 500+ watts output, what do you need the relay for? Can you pull higher output that way?
@BradCagle
@BradCagle 6 месяцев назад
The relay allows you to pull much higher power.

How many minutes does one Bitcoin take to make? Could I make £2.5 million in two days mining 100 coins ?
@BradCagle
@BradCagle Год назад
There are many different crypto coins. Bitcoin is one of them, however it really must be mined with special ASIC machine like an s19. Even with these machines it would take many years to mine a single Bitcoin with a single machine. So instead you mine in a pool with others, and you receive fractions of a Bitcoin called sats. As for getting the coins in your wallet, all you do it tell the miner machine your wallet address. Now other "alt" coins like Flux, Dynex, etc.. are minable with GPUs like you see in my video. Some of these coins are pretty easy to mine several a day, but they are worth far less than Bitcoin, like less than a $1. For example I have 10 GPU's I mine with right now, and I only make $3-5 a day. That will likely go up as we get into the crypto bull market. At one point I was making $40-$50 a day with those same GPUs.

I think running the gpus directly on battery voltage is a bad idea you should add a dcdc coverter to get stable 12v because the battery voltage is changeing with state of charge of the battery
@BradCagle
@BradCagle Год назад
So @19:30 you'll see I have set the upper, and lower voltage. Lower set to 12.40v, and charge is set to 13.70v This is the max high, and low voltage the equipment will see. So as long as you're comfortable running a bit higher than spec. Up to you, I've done it a lot myself without issue YMMV. I'm about to do another video that uses 48v, with a 48v to 12v Isolated DC/DC converter. This will be the safest, because an isolated DC/DC will not allow the higher 48v to reach your 12v equipment even if it shorts, etc.. Standard non-isolated DC/DC converters can easily short a MOSFET then deliver the higher side voltage to your lower voltage equipment.

@tugrulserhat 2 года назад
it sounds risky af but with high quality controller it could be done on a bigger scale like a 6 card rig maybe
@BradCagle
@BradCagle 2 года назад
An 80amp version of this controller would do 6 cards. I actually have bigger scale solar rigs, they use 48v, and then I use telecom style 1/4 brick isolated dc/dc converters to get 12v. The only real worry about using a controller like in the video is it could short the high PV voltage to the output. Most controllers even high quality ones can do this. Ideally you want galvanic isolation, but I'm not aware of any controllers that have this. I actually had a controller (different one) short like that, the relay saved the load, but almost killed the battery.

@@laszlokarman7156 Are you locking the power limit on the 3080's ? Maybe 200w each? Also I think you would want to split this up, and try it with 3 cards. The 80amp controller amzn.to/3foaSIA should work, with 100AH LiFePO4 battery, and probably 1500w of solar panels.

It's going to cost way more than what it's worth to try and run 24/7 with battery. I'm going to make a video showing how to fall back to grid AC at night, and run on solar during the day. This will make better sense financially.
