Question

Has anyone gotten a Bitaxe to work on BCH? I

have 400 watts of stranded solar, and I'm thinking of using a few Bitaxes to mine and make use of the power.

Can a bitaxe run on direct solar?

I wouldn't have thought so. Solar voltage varies quite a bit and most charging units still require a battery to stabilize the voltage ime. You can get direct DC voltage stabilizers (I use one to pump from a dam into a tank), but when the clouds cover the panel, there goes the power. Also, my experience with the voltage stabilizers that I've bought is that they tend to blow after about a year. That could just be a "me" issue though in the sense that I keep buying the same type.

Well the solar charges a battery bank, and I'd run it off the battery bank. I'd have a low-battery disconnect that would turn off the miners if the voltage got too low. But currently, I only use the power in the battery bank once a week to run a pump for a little while. There is a lot of unused energy there.

400W is 1/3rd of what it takes to undervolt a three board S17 rig. It seems silly to run one asic chip if you have enough power every day to run 50. Plus the 50 chip board is 1/10th the price.

Yeah, I think you're probably right. I have got them under cover so sun doesn't hit them (that one in pic was outside for a while though, hence the rust). They're rated for ~200W or something, but they're pretty cheap units.
