Have anyone tried or made a study on how to mine ETH with a rig powered with Solar Panels + Batteries

My dad have a setup of 32 Panels split, 16 panels + Inverter 5KW + Batteries for Home + 16 panels directly to water pumps

I want to build a mining rig for ETH with 6 GPU RTX 3060 Ti, after calculating the consumption it's around 1300W-1200W "900W-850 W when overclocking"

No one live in the house, so i wanna use those 16 panels with 5kw inverter to directly power the rig in the day time, and batteries at night.

For day time there's no issues 9-10 hours a day, but for the rest 14-15 hours, i need batteries.

Do you know how many batteries i will need? what type of batteries is good for such work? By considering discharge is 50% for Acid batteries compared to lithium batteries at 80% for a good lifespan

Anyone tough about this before? If you need more technical information about the solar panel let me know.
 
Interesting approach, good luck with this.
Thank you

From personal experience, lithium batteries are the best for this purpose.
Thanks for your reply, thinking the same, they are much expensive than acid batteries, but still you can use 80%-90% of their capacity without an issue

I searched on the net on how to calculate things, but still confused

I calculated for 1200w consumption device to be powered with batteries for 15 hours/day

The results are "for lithium"

8 batteries 12v 200ah
or
16 batteries 12v 100ah

Can it be correct? or i made a mistake calculating things?
