Crypto Mining With Solar Power in Australia
Turn your excess solar energy into cryptocurrency without wasting a single kilowatt.
If you’ve got solar panels on your roof, you’ve probably noticed the feed-in tariffs dropping lower and lower each year. You generate clean power, and the energy giants pay you a few miserable cents per kilowatt-hour, then turn around and sell it back to your neighbours for five times the price.
With the right miner, that excess energy doesn’t have to go to waste. Crypto mining with solar lets you use surplus generation to power mining hardware, turning free electricity into digital assets rather than cheap export tariffs.
Whether you’ve got a large solar array, a home battery system, or regular daytime surplus, this approach can unlock new value from power you’re already producing.
Learn more about our project that allows Aussies to use the energy you create to contribute to the decentralisation of cryptocurrency, and potentially earn bitcoin in the process.

The Bitaxe Gamma 601 is a compact, open-source SHA-256 Bitcoin miner designed for hobbyist and educational use. It’s popular with home users because it combines very low power consumption with a simple setup, making it practical for Australian households, especially those with excess solar energy.
Rather than competing with large industrial mining operations, the Bitaxe Gamma is about learning how Bitcoin mining works in practice: blocks, difficulty, hashrate, and variance, all using your own hardware at home. You additionally contribute to the decentralisation of the Bitcoin blockchain.
Why the Bitaxe Gamma makes sense in Australia
Australian electricity costs and widespread rooftop solar make low-power miners far more practical than traditional ASIC hardware. Running at roughly 15–20 watts, the Bitaxe Gamma can be operated quietly in a home or office environment and is well suited to using spare daytime solar generation.

How Does Mining Crypto With Solar Work?
Crypto mining with solar power works best when you have excess daytime generation, battery storage or load management, and mining schedules that prioritise free energy use.
Solar panels generate energy during the day. First, your home uses what it needs. Next, batteries (if installed) store power to smooth output. Finally, anything left over can be diverted to mining equipment.
This way, you’re not buying electricity from the grid, you’re using surplus solar energy you’ve already paid to install. You can mine crypto for free.
