How many would I need to power a home using a 1500 watt stove and a 1500 watt dryer and a 4500 watt hot water heater?

You need more solar panels. 400 to 500 watts worth. I also recommend one or two small windmill style generators for night time trickle charging.
You need a battery bank of several large battery's. The key to solar power systems is a home using lower amounts of power. Switch to florescent bulbs or better yet LED bulbs. Don't ever discharge your battery's below a 70 percent charge.
Also remember that resistant loads like heaters and dryer elements will really tax a solar system.
You need to be willing to change your lifestyle to go solar.
