I got invited to bid on a new venture mining operation... all electrical and HVAC for the job... 5500 KILOWATTS.
Solar to be added after system is in operation...

Do you really mean 5.5MW? 55MW will be huge!

(or 10x of them if that is 55 MW)
I will indeed post here.
I hope he meant 5.5MW... he said 5500KW, one time, then 55MW, so, it looks like its legit...
I might be busy next year...

Read the title, thought you were buying yourself that big a bit miner
Better business selling fresh eggs to the prospectors for $1 each (in 1849!)
Or copper, silicon, and lithium, in your case.
When I learned of that back in school, I assumed it was chicken eggs. Apparently not:

The Gold-Hungry Forty-Niners Also Plundered Something Else: Eggs
When food shortages struck San Francisco, wily entrepreneurs raided the dangerous Farallon Islands for protein-rich eggs from seabirds. In the process, they destroyed both wildlife and each other.

I’m looking over the duke energy power estimate…
It’s 50MW… $18,519,687 @4.45 cents per KWh…Annually…
Around $1.6MILLION monthly…

The guy is asking me pricing for a 440V transformer…
I’m trying to explain to him, at 440V, it’s over 10,000Amps… I need to see his site plans. He doesn’t understand I think.

This is what has been sent to me so far.

Couple of used panels, a Epever 20a controller, and a car battery... You should be good! 
Sounds like fun

And by the time it gets down to video chips in bit miner, it'll be what, 1.000V? In which case, 55,000,000 amps (split among many chips.)
The Sunny Central I linked are nominally 600V 3-phase.
What AC input voltage for his data center?
His system will be 5x Sierra, at least in MW if not MFlops
Sierra | HPC @ LLNL
hpc.llnl.gov
With PV added, is he going to go with Net Metering (3.0?)
Is the site suitable for pumped hydro?
Just for one night he needs about 0.66 GWh storage (half way Back to the Future?)
That is a large project, not to mention miner pricing is just insane. Duke would not allow me to have a solar farm installed even with me paying the substation upgrades. I trade btc but the miners are just too high and consume too much for my area. KDA would be the only miners I could even contemplate running on solar. It took me a longtime to create my own indicators and start doing well with cryto.
