Bad news.  The Tesla Powerwall has failed the final inspection with the city.  This was due to them not using the same breaker panel box listed in the application.  They will need to resubmit an updated application and schedule another inspection before the unit can be switched on.  Hopefully this happens relatively quickly. 

They decided it would be faster to install the breaker box in the application than to start the process over from square one and are expecting to have the issue resolved next week.

Looks like this should get resolved on Friday (crossing fingers).

We can't generate enough power to even sustain the operation during the day right now.  Once the powerwall is installed I will be looking into further energy production measures.  Possibly installing something like this if I can get a sponsor on board.  I may also look into selling off the lower performing miners (D3) to reduce power consumption.  The powerwall can currently only sustain the operation for about an hour at night or two hours during the day.  Adding an additional powerwall would be fairly easy (just costs $), and perhaps with another powerwall and some more solar/wind energy, going truly off the grid for long amounts of time may become a reality.  The biggest advancement still ahead would be an immersion cooling tank for the miners.  I've read that can reduce energy consumption by up to 40%!  If we had such a system, along with the planned solar/wind upgrades and an addtional powerwall or two, we could be looking at a powerhouse operation unlikely to be matched by anyone without a massive investment.

40% is definitely a bit of a wild claim, which is why I worded my statement the way I did.  There is undoubtedly efficiency savings from operating at a lower temperature and not using fans, but I would guess somewhere in the 5%-20% range.  Besides efficiency savings, the larger benefit would be the ability to operate more equipment, as cooling is currently what is stifling growth (if you figure in air conditioning costs, 40% savings could even be a low estimate in the summer).

You really can't ignore the air conditioning aspect when it comes to savings.  I estimate that using immersion cooling would save ~$1,500 annually on air conditioning costs (~15% efficiency improvement).  Not to mention cutting down on the impact of running an air conditioner would be a benefit for this project.

The Tesla Powerwall 2 has passed inspection and is currently charging with sunlight!

The only remaining hurdle is that the operational software for the Powerwall needs an update for me to be able to adjust the operating procedure to be beneficial for this project.  I'm told that will be happening in the next 3 weeks.

The system I'm looking at uses a water line to cool the oil in a heat transfer unit.

Nice one, which one is better solar or wind in compare to money/energy?
I also thought how many SportsArt ECO-POWR™ G510 Indoor Cycles you would have to have to power 1 antminer (anyone calculated? let's assume 2h a day for 1 man?)
