Solar PV & Off-Grid Mining Integration Workshop
Aligning variable solar generation with dynamic ASIC power consumption.
Format & Location
Full-Day Interactive Workshop (8 Hours) • Logic Bridge Hub Lab, Dawson VIC or Interactive Live Remote Session
Tuition & Pricing Basis
$880 AUD per attendee (or $2,200 AUD private enterprise booking)
Program Overview & Real-World Result
Learn how to match fluctuating behind-the-meter solar and micro-hydro generation to automated ASIC hashrate tuning without costly oversized battery banks.
Expected Practical Competency: Acquire the exact know-how to configure automated PLC or script-based hashrate throttling that ramps miners up and down based on instantaneous solar inverter output.
Delivered By
Renewable energy integration specialists and embedded automation engineers.
Target Audience
Agricultural producers with surplus commercial solar, off-grid homesteaders, and renewable energy operators seeking curtailment mitigation.
Curriculum & Technical Scope
- PV inverter telemetry parsing (Modbus TCP, SunSpec, API polling)
- Dynamic ASIC voltage & frequency adjustment via API (under-clocking down to 40% nameplate wattage)
- DC-coupled vs AC-coupled mining topologies and inverter surge handling
- Managing thermal inertia when cycling hardware during cloud cover transitions
Step-by-Step Delivery Process
1. Inverter & Solar Curve Analysis
Evaluating diurnal solar curves, cloud-edge spikes, and curtailment thresholds.
2. Mining Rig Power Stepping Tests
Testing how modern ASICs react to rapid power-target modulation without crashing.
3. Automated Logic Setup
Writing control rules to ramp miners in 100W increments as solar irradiance shifts.
4. Battery & Grid Protection Safeguards
Configuring low-voltage disconnects and zero-export fail-safes.
