Optional off-grid mining

Small miners make solar interesting.

Solar isn't required to be a Mini Miner. But when the computer doing the work uses very little power, running a miner from the sun becomes a genuinely fun hardware project.

For beginners

Our goal is a safe, documented solar option that doesn't require someone to design their own charging circuit.

For makers

DIY solar builds, battery sizing, measurements and experiments belong here once we've tested complete configurations ourselves.

Technical review in progress. The February site recommended a DIY TP4056/battery/boost-converter setup. We're not carrying that wiring guide forward until the complete power path, battery protection and solar charging behavior are tested and documented safely.
