RE: Bitcoin Network is Using your whole Country's power !!!!
Yeah roll on microgrids where you can transit energy across the grid from one place to another. Effectively you could sell your own energy back to yourself.
The energy grid needs to become like the internet, where we can all dynamically buy/sell on top of it.
Good luck with your install.
There is no commercial utility in the US willing to allow that (my farm property, where I never am for appreciable amounts of time, is 10 miles outside of town where my business consumes 100 hours a week or more- this is no complaint, simply a description of fact), only a local power co-op could pull that off, and commercial utilities HATE that, and there's little to no local co-op spirit to put that together, and I haven't the strength or resources to attempt the effort.
I might be able to hang a small collector on the wall to power this, my office rig which BOINCs, but not much else- better than nothing but not very cost-effective, with the storage and control circuitry.
Oh sure its the same where I am, monolithic energy companies just want to push energy at you. I was talking futuristically; I hope we can get there one day, there are some small projects beginning.
