I have one rig that consumes 1050 watts an hour, so that's 10.5 cents an hour or $2.52 a day.

Like finger nails on a black board to an EE.  Ouch.

Watts per hour has no meaning.

Watt = unit of power

Watt-hour or kWh = unit of energy

So "my rig burns 1050 Watts"  in one hour it uses 1050 Watt-hours of energy = 1.05 kWh of energy

So in 24 hours it uses 24 * 1.05 = 25.2 kWh of energy.  At $0.10 per kWh = $2.52 per day.
