Prices of electricity over here are so high that even older generation ASICs get dumped (everything below 5 Giga Hash USB sticks; 300 Watt S1 Ant miners; Butterfly Labs Jalapeno's: you name it).

One other thought ...... asics the smaller ones 5mh and lower typically run 12 volt ac adapters its not hard to generate 12 volts on the cheap
if you are really into it .. newer small asics have be tempered for overclocking which we do
point im trying to make is they are fine on dirty power from a solar cell and a battery
sice they regulate amperage internally
