Abstract
A method includes selectably controlling a power supply from an Alternating Current (AC) power system and/or a solar Direct Current (DC) power system to a cryptocurrency system including a number of mining servers and/or a set of mining loads using an electronic control system, and optimizing the power supply from the solar DC power system to the number of mining servers using a mining node power management system associated with the electronic control system in accordance with continuously updating, through the mining node power management system, a power requirement of mining a specific type of cryptocurrency through the cryptocurrency system and monitoring photovoltaic generation units of the solar DC power system that include trackers to adjust orientation of components thereof such that solar energy captured thereby is maximized.
