When the sun doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow, solar & wind farms don’t produce power. How do solar/wind powered Bitcoin mining facilities mitigate this challenge?
Head of Blockware Intelligence, Mitchell Askew, asked the CEO of Soluna (NASDAQ:SNLH), John Belizaire, that question.
His answer: By operating “Behind the Meter.”
Soluna’s wind-powered mining site is connected to the powerplant, substation, and the ERCOT grid. The combination of these 3 energy sources has resulted in a 97% uptime at their site. Blockware’s partnership with Soluna enables our clients to mine Bitcoin at this facility (more on that below).
Check out this clip on our YouTube channel to hear John’s full answer:
Pictured below is a screenshot from The Blockware Marketplace showing the performance of an Antminer S21 hosted at Soluna’s mining facility. Over the past 30-days this machine has been online nearly 100% of the time. By partnering with world-class operators like Soluna, Blockware provides our clients with the ability to mine Bitcoin at the most profitable, most efficient data centers in the world.
A fleet of 10 Antminer S21’s hosted at this facility currently mines ~0.03 BTC per month, for a net monthly profit of ~$1,275 after electricity costs. The current BTC Breakeven price for this model is ~$68,000. Based on historic BTC price & difficulty growth rates a fleet of 10 miners will return 100% of the machine cost after 18 months.
