The total solar energy captured was very close to previous months report, so it has been quite bright outside of lately. I think the days are starting to get shorter, so soon I think we will see the number drop. But for now I expect to stay over 3 Megawatt hours of production a month unless we have a bunch of storms. We are in a really bad drought right now, so it has been quite the opposite of that. I guess good for the solar panels but hard on everything else around here.

In the month of August we produced 3285.3 kWh (3.28 Mwh) on the farm.

Using excess solar power the farm mined 0.00170221 Bitcoin valued at $135.28 based on the current Bitcoin price of $79,475

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