Hopefully as we enter the spring we stay above the 2 megawatt hour range. But you never know when some cloudy days may show up, or a tropical storm passes through. But April was a good start to another productive month in storing and using solar power.

Soon I should have Array-C fully built out, and troubleshooting is still ongoing with the one string that is acting up. Next I plan on running an above ground pair of 8 gauge wire to the splitters and back to the inverter. So I can isolate that below ground cable. If all works with the new cable I know its somewhere underground causing the problem. Also it was mentioned probing the ground near the suspected damage after recent rains with a multimeter may find stray voltage if there is a damaged wire underground. It could show up as just a couple volts, or not work at all. But with so little rain I think it would just be easier to a new temporary cable to test with.

In the month of April we produced 2071.8 kWh (2.07 Mwh) on the farm.

Using excess solar power the farm mined 0.00017276 Bitcoin valued at $13.54 based on the current Bitcoin price of $78,396

Mining hardware: 2x Bitmain Antminer S21 Pros running at 7200 watts. Only one was in use for April due to array issues.
