The average household uses around 900 Kw/h a month. About 30 Kw/h a day. That is without trying to be efficient about it. A small battery system (5Kw/h) and a hydroturbine pumping 1Kw/h and you are good indefinitely. Solar panels are harder because they require you to have a much larger battery pack, but the panels themselves will only run a few thousand to get get more than 1Kw/h/h.
Peak usage is always the issue with any setup. If you were trying to go off-grid and/or prepping, getting consistent usage elements like ductless AC (has much lower highs, runs more consistently than conventional electric heating) for heat is a good idea. Freezers don't run nearly that much. Electric Dryer I am not sure off the top of my head, but also seems ridiculously high. Worst case, get a clothes hanger. Most electronics outside of monitors run less than a conventional lightbulb.
