Solar Miner value calculator
Estimate what surplus solar could earn in a miner, compared with home export credits, stored power in portable generators, or curtailed solar off-grid. Every number below is an estimate.
What if BTC rises? — Scenarios, not predictions
Typical examples — actual surplus varies by system size, location and usage.

where your share equals the export credit
Each $10k rise in BTC adds about $73/yr to your estimated yearly value.
You keep the bitcoin you mine; if BTC's price rises, what you've already mined is worth more too. Sats mined depend on network difficulty and halvings, not on price.
Estimated ¢/kWh vs bitcoin price
Hashprice is scaled linearly with BTC price. In practice network difficulty usually rises with price, so high-price scenarios may overstate earnings.
Estimates only, not guaranteed. Assumes Avalon Q (90 TH/s, 1,674 W), hashprice ~$36.14/PH/day (scaled from ~$36.30 at BTC ~$81k, Oct 2026), 0% pool fee, after AVL's 20% share, 25 kWh/day of surplus and 2¢/kWh export credit.
Default values reflect a summer-peak solar day (~25 kWh/day of surplus) and the lowest typical export credit (2¢/kWh); winter and average days produce less.

Important disclosure
Mining value may fall below your utility export credit. Equipment cost, noise, heat, maintenance and electricity considerations are the owner's responsibility. Bitcoin payouts are sent at the pool level directly to the owner's own wallet; AVL Energy does not hold customer funds. Tax treatment of mined bitcoin may apply. The 2028 halving is expected to roughly halve mining revenue at the same bitcoin price.
