Your Solar System Pays For Itself For Households via Solar Vendors
Globally, 685 million people lack electricity access, while 9.3 million off-grid solar kits were sold in 2024 alone—yet only 22% of energy-poor households can afford basic pay-as-you-go systems. MSBX bundled with your solar transforms this equation: excess energy becomes Bitcoin, mining rewards subsidize your investment, and your solar system starts paying for itself. With 137 million cumulative off-grid connections worldwide and a $21 billion funding gap to achieve universal energy access by 2030, mining-subsidized solar represents the breakthrough the market needs. 97% of rewards go directly to your non-custodial wallet.
Solar → Bitcoin → Savings
Traditional solar exports excess power at feed-in rates as low as $0.03/kWh. With Melanin, that same energy generates Bitcoin instead—creating a revenue stream that scales with your production and Bitcoin's value.
Install
Your solar vendor installs the compact MSBX unit alongside your solar system. Pre-configured with Click software, it automatically connects to Melanin Network using Stratum V2 encrypted connections. Works with any solar array producing 100W+ excess capacity.
Mine
During peak solar hours, MSBX converts excess energy into Bitcoin using SHA256 mining. Simultaneously, the CPU mines bonus Whive using the Yespower algorithm—two revenue streams from one device. Agentic AI optimizes your block templates for maximum success.
Save
Mining rewards flow directly to your non-custodial wallet—we never touch your coins. 97% of block rewards are yours; our 3% fee is transparent in every coinbase transaction. Over time, your solar investment pays for itself through accumulated Bitcoin and Whive.
What You Get
Monetize Excess
Instead of exporting surplus solar at low feed-in rates (~$0.03/kWh), convert it to Bitcoin. Mining revenue varies with Bitcoin's price but often exceeds traditional export earnings—and you hold the asset.
Non-Custodial
All mining rewards flow directly to your own Bitcoin and Whive wallets. We never hold, store, or access your private keys. True self-custody from the first satoshi—your coins, your keys, always.
Flexible Setup
Choose your path: DIY installation with Click software on existing hardware, or turnkey deployment with the pre-configured MSBX unit. Both options support Bitcoin and Whive dual mining with the same 97/3 fee structure.
Energy-Aware
Intelligent power management automatically scales mining intensity based on available solar production. Mine at full capacity during peak sun hours, throttle during low production—maximizing value while respecting your energy budget.
Remote-Ready
Built for off-grid reality: local-first architecture queues work during connectivity gaps, edge proxies reduce bandwidth requirements, and the system gracefully handles intermittent internet—essential for rural solar installations.
Inclusive Access
Designed for global deployment across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and beyond. Edge proxies minimize bandwidth needs, lightweight protocols work on basic connectivity, and the platform handles multiple currencies and time zones seamlessly.
