How it works
Your complete guide to PanelMiner and wallet setup.
How PanelMiner Works
- Connect to your P1 meter: PanelMiner links to your smart meter via your local network to read real-time energy data.
- Detect surplus: It watches your net energy usage. When your solar panels generate more power than your house is using (and your home battery is full, if you have one), a surplus is detected.
- Start mining: Once the surplus exceeds the wattage of your GPU or connected miner, PanelMiner automatically starts mining in the background.
- Stop on consumption: The moment a high-power appliance switches on, PanelMiner instantly detects the grid draw and stops the miner. You never pay for mining electricity.
Wallet Setup Guide
⚠ Never mine directly to an exchange
Do not use wallet addresses from exchanges like Bitvavo, Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, or Kraken.
Why is this dangerous?
1. Changing addresses: exchanges regularly rotate deposit addresses for security. Mine to an old one and your coins are lost permanently.
2. Deposit limits: pools pay out in small increments, and exchanges often reject deposits below a minimum — those payouts are lost.
3. Smart contracts: exchanges often don't support the direct transaction types some mining pools use.
The solution: mine to a personal wallet. Once it accumulates a decent balance, send it to an exchange manually to sell for euros.
