Compatibility: solar systems, ASICs & coins

Check which solar interfaces, Bitcoin ASICs and mining coins work with SolarMiner, and what you need for your own node.

The short answer

Three things need to work together.

Compatibility is not decided by a single logo. It comes from the connection between energy data, your node and your miner. Check each part step by step.

Your setup

What your node needs.

You do not need to be a network expert. Just check each of these three requirements before installing.

01

Energy data

SolarMiner needs to see how much power your system is currently exporting or importing.

Via an inverter, smart meter or energy manager with a suitable local interface.
02

Your SolarMiner node

The node connects energy data and miners, then applies your rules automatically.

It is self-hosted on your own always-available device in your local network.
03

A controllable miner

Depending on the coin, you use a Bitcoin ASIC or your existing PC.

The model, firmware and interface determine which controls are available.
Ready for the next step?

Your node connects everything.

Set up SolarMiner on your own host. Then connect your energy data and miner, and decide when your solar surplus should be used.

Bitcoin ASICs

These ASIC models are supported by the node.

Search for your exact model and check whether it uses Bitmain stock firmware or Braiins OS.

* Dynamic power control requires a model, control board, hashboard and PSU combination supported by Braiins OS. With stock firmware, SolarMiner controls start/stop and the pool route, but not a dynamic power target. Braiins device list ↗

Mineable coins

Six coins. At a glance.

Bitcoin runs on an ASIC. The PC Agent controls the remaining CPU and GPU paths.

Solar systems & energy metering

Find compatible energy sources.

Search by manufacturer or device type. The exact model, firmware and local access are what matter.

Directory, not blanket certification

Before installing, confirm that your model provides the required measurements and that local access is enabled.

Common questions

Compatibility, without the fine print.

What do I need for automatic solar control?

You need usable energy and consumption data, a self-hosted SolarMiner node and a miner with a suitable control path. You can try PC mining independently first; the configured node is what automatically connects mining to your solar surplus.

Which ASIC miners does SolarMiner support?

The searchable ASIC directory on this page lists the exact Bitmain models registered in the node. Stock firmware provides pool routing and start/stop. Dynamic power targets require Braiins OS and a model, control board, hashboard and PSU combination supported by Braiins.

Which coins can I currently mine?

Six established paths are currently available: Bitcoin on a compatible ASIC, Monero on a CPU, and Pearl, Ravencoin, Ethereum Classic and Quantus on a compatible GPU through the PC Agent. Hardware, drivers, wallet and pool configuration must match the selected coin.

My inverter is missing. Is my system incompatible?

Not necessarily. The directory lists recorded interfaces; it is not a final certification list. Check whether your exact model provides local measurements through a documented interface, then compare its model and firmware with the SolarMiner documentation.

Do I need a cloud connection?

That depends on the device adapter. SolarMiner itself runs on your own host. Your device interface determines whether energy data is read locally or through an external service.
