01
Detect surplus
Enable logic considers PV power, grid flow, battery state and heat demand. Miner power is limited to avoid unwanted grid consumption.
- Surplus threshold
- Battery reserve
- Grid-import limit

Surplus heating
A water-cooled crypto miner can act as a controllable electrical load and transfer heat to a buffer tank through an exchanger, pumps and safety controls.
Direct answer
Almost all electrical power consumed by a miner becomes heat. This heat can be recovered technically; mining revenue remains variable and is assessed separately.
02
Transfer the heat
Cooling loop, heat exchanger, pumps and buffer tank are sized for power, flow and temperature levels.
- Hydraulic separation
- Flow and temperature spread
- Buffer and heating integration
03
Protect the system
Temperature, flow and pump state are supervised. If heat cannot be removed, power is reduced or the miner is shut down.
- Overtemperature protection
- Defined shutdown chain
- Noise, ventilation and location
04
Keep the economics separate
Heat output is calculable; coin prices, network difficulty, hardware and operating costs change. We do not promise investment returns.
- No revenue guarantee
- Heat demand assessed first
- Technical, tax and financial issues separated

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a miner replace the boiler?+
Usually not. Primary heat requires reliability, redundancy and additional checks; recovery is better treated as a controlled supplement.
Does it run only in sunshine?+
Control can consider surplus, battery, tariff and heat demand. The permitted operating states are defined for each project.
Do you guarantee mining revenue?+
No. Voltalps designs the energy and heat integration, not a guaranteed-return investment.
