I recently to learned that you can wire the DC output of a solar charge controller directly to the power lugs of a Bitcoin miner PSU.
The power from the solar panels goes directly to the hash boards and if there isn't enough power, the PSU makes up the difference with ac power from the grid. It turned the PSU into off grid solar grid tie hybrid power source.
All solar power is totally utilized, no loss. It's magical to watch the power draw from the PSU ebb and flow with the power output of the solar charge controller.
This is technique is going to change the game here at the homestead as it will allow me to continue to expand the solar power production without having to get a larger inverter to fully utilize it. I can tie the additional solar power directly to the miners, skipping the batteries and inverter all together. Looking forward to showing this technique in action.
