# Solar Bitcoin Mining Collective

Companies, Organizations, and Resources that have shared common interests that may choose to cooperate to accelerate the transition to a solar sustainable energy future.

During the research process to put together a meaningful concept for Solar Bitcoin mining, information provided by these companies and organizations was used.

We hope to keep appending this list and find key contacts at each org to participate in an open consortium or collective to further a cooperative effort.

**The following key hightlights offering categories by each company or organization.** 

☀️ = Solar / PV Panels Partner

🔋 = Batteries (Lithium Ion Variant) Partner

🔌 = Load Management Partner

🚗 = Auto-Industry Partner

♻️ = Sustainability / Eco / Green Org Parter

💰 = Bitcoin / Financial Partner

🔥 = Sustainable Heating Partner<br>
