Achieving the best utilization of the solar power for hashing at the yurt since expanding the system.

While the sunny days have been few and far between, any chance I get to try to improve the mining efficiency with the solar power system, I take. I've managed to make a few improvements recently that have lead to more power utilization for longer periods of time.

The miner that I'm currently using is supposed to run on 220v. It can run on 110v but will draw around 1800w which could damage the apw3++ and apw7 power supplies I have.

My solution to allow for the miner to run on 110v is to unplug one or two hash boards lowering the power usage to 1200w or 600w. But now that I more than enough power to run the full 1800w I realized, I can power the third hash board with a second power supply. Doing so added over 30 percent more hash to the system and I'm now using the maximum amount of power I can produce without adding an additional circuit.

The second improvement was to use an analog timer to help automate the system. Sometimes I'm unable to turn the miner on right when the batteries are topped off in the morning. Now, with the timer, the miner will turn on and off automatically if I don't get to it sooner. Plus, it will turn off before draining the batteries in the evening. There are far better ways to achieve this automation but while I figure that out this quick fix is getting me more time hashing!
