When I measure my pi-3B's at the 120v side of the wall wart using my Kill-a-Watt brand power meter I see around 1 watt being consumed.The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B requires a 5.1V 2.5A power source, and for this system to run for 3 days would need energy 5.1*2.5*24*3 = 918kW.
You might want to refine your numbers by actually measuring your pi running your application. I think you'll see you don't really need to design for 918 watt-hours of energy use.
