 #SolarBit will enable 100% self-sufficient, fully automated offgrid mining with a #bitaxe, powered by the sun. 🌞⛏️

But, how does that work?

Well, it's an automated Suntracker which will wake up in the morning, position the panel towards the sun and adjust itself based on the suns movement, so the panel can produce the most energy which will power the Bitaxe and charge the battery.

The charging controller unit regulates the battery and turns off the miner if there's not enough juice left so it can start again once the sun comes out again.

In case of rain detection, the tracker will enter rain mode and position the panel horizontally to protect the components and add wind resistance.

The base design still needs a bit of polishing, then it's time to design the accessories like the balcony mount and do some test prints.

 
 Noice  
 Nice!! 
 Slick! 😎💪 
 Shut up and take my money 
 The oh-fuckening 
 If this ever hits market and is remotely affordable best believe it'll be purchased 
 Hopefully in Q4 
 I want one 😍 
 Pretty cool!

>mining 

pls pick one  
 Very cool design!

Would be really viable if Bitaxe wasn't a solo miner :/ 
 Hi, if you want to collaborate I have an algorithm for tracking the sun without the extra sensor. Idea is to use the panel itself as the sensor. 
 I will reach out regarding this. Thanks!
