# CASE STUDY 2
#### **1. Miner Specifications and Energy Consumption**
The Iceriver AL3 miner is designed for high-performance cryptocurrency mining, specifically optimized for algorithms like Blake3. Here are the key specifications relevant to energy consumption:
* **Hash Rate**: 15 TH/s
* **Power Consumption**: 3,500 watts=3.5kWh
* **Monthly Consumption**: 3.5\*24\*30=2,520 kWh
* **One Iceriver AL3 miner consumes 2,520 kWh of energy per month** when running continuously.
#### **2. Solar Panel System: Power Generation**
A typical 10 kW solar panel system generates energy based on sunlight availability. Dubai, with its sunny climate, averages around **12 hours of sunlight per day**. Here’s the energy output for such a system:
**Monthly Energy Production**: 120 kWh/day \*30=3,600 kWh/month
A 10 kW solar panel in Dubai can produce **3,600 kWh per month**, which exceeds the monthly consumption of one Iceriver AL3 miner (2,520 kWh).
3. **Number of Solar Panels Required**
For a 20 mine setup, the number of 10 kW solar panels needed can be calculated as follows:
By installing solar panels, this annual electricity cost could be reduced to nearly zero, making the solar installation highly cost-effective over the long term.
