What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates the economics of solar-powered crypto mining with or without batteries. The energy model becomes yearly cash flow, payback, NPV, IRR, and long-term profit.

Crypto Mining with Solar Calculator
Configure a miner fleet, solar array, and batteries. Estimate energy flows, grid imports, inflation-aware cash flow, payback, and long-term profit in one place.

Guided setup
Size the system without digging through every engineering input first
Move from project mode to ROI in five steps. Recommendations stay automatic until you decide to override them.
Project type
Choose the operating mode and how you want to size solar.
How will the site run?
Grid mode is the simplest path: solar offsets your bill and the grid fills the gap.
Solar sizing source
Solar is targeting 75% of combined load.
How this calculator thinks
The model simulates a typical day hour by hour: solar production, mining and site load, battery charge and discharge, grid imports and exports, and unmet load in undersized off-grid systems. The guided interface introduces the assumptions in manageable steps.
- Solar yield from array size, peak sun hours, and system losses.
- Miner power from fleet size, wall draw, and uptime.
- Battery behavior from capacity, depth of discharge, and efficiency.
- Yearly cash flow from mining revenue, grid costs, operating expenses, and export revenue under flat or inflation-aware prices.
Use it for ASIC farms, off-grid pilots, or grid-tied installations where solar offsets energy costs.
Practical defaults, fully adjustable
- Choose the system mode and whether you already have a solar quote.
- Pick a miner preset or use the automatic selection shortcut.
- Add site load, grid prices, and solar assumptions.
- Review recommended solar and battery sizes, then adjust the financial assumptions.
Open the advanced sections when you need to tune solar efficiency, battery behavior, discount rates, electricity inflation, or yearly mining-revenue change.
Frequently asked questions
Does it use live coin prices and difficulty?
No. You enter expected daily revenue per miner and an optional yearly change. This keeps the assumptions transparent as markets and mining difficulty move.
Can it include electricity-price inflation?
Yes. Inflation-aware mode compounds grid prices, export value, and running costs by your chosen yearly rate. Real mode keeps them flat in today's money.
Can I simulate fully off-grid mining?
Yes. Choose off-grid mode and size the solar array and batteries. The tool warns when the system cannot cover the full daily load.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is an engineering-style planning estimate. Compare it with installer quotes, pool data, taxes, regulation, and local utility rules before investing.
