How cheap are solar panels these days? Depending on where you live they might be viable, you're gonna be rich with the sun money anyways right?

Estimate what your compooper's hashrate is for various coin types and use calculators to determine possible profit. But yes, you can definitely make some non-negative money.

After briefly investigating monero, it looks like mining it on a nice system might yield $15 per month.

(In my case that computation would amount in at least $45 of additional electricity per month)
