I did a calculation for how many panels it would take to run my 240v 10 amp well pump and it came out to around 30 300w panels down rated to 100w because they will rarely if ever have full sun. Solar is a joke and wind is even worse. I've got 6 acres to build on and i didnt find it reasonable to turn a half acre of it into a solar farm just to run the well pump. Most people pushing this shit dont have enough surface area to run 2 or 3 fridges in their urbanite communist housing.
You must be a farmer, there is no reason to have a pump power of 2.4Kw for a house dwelling
In any case, if you are off grid you need batteries to last the winter days and the night obviously, that is a better metric to rely on.
An average household, no conditioner on, can be assumed to be 1Kw of power, max, possibly 500w average for the whole day.
It is all feasible, given enough space and money, you still end up with maintenance like, what to do if inverter breaks or hail cometh.
So, it is complicated, really complicated
