# What is a Remote Miner A Remote Miner in the Arkreen Network is a fractional miner that operates remotely and earns AKRE rewards. It is connected to a green energy generation facility, such as a solar photovoltaic plant, via an IoT device. This device collects energy generation data and fractionizes it to simulate multiple Remote Miners generating energy. Each Remote Miner typically has a default capacity of 100 watts (0.1 kW) and a lifespan of one year. Remote Miners are ideal for individuals who want to contribute to renewable energy initiatives but cannot install rooftop solar panels themselves. They can be purchased through the Arkreen Network dashboard, and each purchase is associated with an NFT. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
