If you used that much electricity in our neighborhood, your electric bill would be around $750. There isn't a choice in power companies here, either, but we are completely off the grid and have been for decades.
If you are using that much electricity, though, a system sized to make that much would be huge so you'd have to cut way back on your power usage before trying to go off grid.
Is that an electric water heater? Anything that heats with electricity uses a lot of power. We have a gas tankless water heater and it does a wonderful job. On a well, you'd probably have to put in a pressure tank but I'm just guessing. You may want to look into either solar hot water or a gas water heater to lower your electric rates. Also insulate those pipes as well as the water heater itself. No use paying to heat stuff and then just let it cool off.
