You mean 25-30 KWHr a day, not KW. (Energy not power)
If you had something that generated 1.5KW constantly it would generate 24Hr*1.5KW = 36KWH per day, which is more than you use.

Unfortunately, I do not draw at a constant rate. So that requires storage, which is very expensive. I would need to produce on the order of 6 to 8 KW to avoid being inconvenienced.

That average value is really disingenuous the way it is being presented.
Starting surges, things being turned on sometimes at different times, sometimes at the same time is the real world to a *house's* current draw, not day long average.
Think about running a house on a 1.5 KW generator and see how far you get, not real world in the least.
Think what happens when the clothes dryer and the air conditioner unit kicks on at the same time.
The 1.5 would go up in a puff of smoke.
