You need to get your units straight, and refer to them correctly. I do have a background in applied physics, and am not trying to be rude or combative. I'm trying to help clarify for others reading.
If it is consuming 650W average over a 24hr period, it sounds extremely inefficient. Monitor it's kWh usage over a 72 hour period and divide by 72 to get kWh/h, which equals kW. Multiply that by 1000 to get average wattage over 72 hours.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

You need to meter it's total consumption in a day in kWh, and then meter the generator's total energy output per day in the same units to determine if it outputs enough power to power it for a day. Remember load varies, so test it on a hot humid day to get a close to worst case value. It would be best to meter it over several days, the generator as well, and use worst case data for each (highest consumption/lowest production respectively).
* Refrigerators and freezers will also work more efficiently if they are defrosted (freezers), have proper airflow to the condenser, the condenser heat sink fins are clean, and it is in the shade (if possible), and in the lowest humidity environment possible.

Sigh.. you guys really serious about not knowing this?
However, you can also transform it back
It's all about transforming energy from one form to another. You are not creating/generating energy at all.
Batteries are energy storage. You can charge them and extract that energy later.
Gasoline is also an energy storage. The difference is, it takes millions of years to charge this and to become a fossil fuel. Then the energy stored in a gasoline can also be transformed to electricity.
No machine can GENERATE energy out from nowhere. They just convert it from one form to another. Energy conversion also uses energy in the process usually heat as byproduct.

You cannot generate energy out from nothing.
IF you can generate electricity out from nothing then you generated energy out of nothing. Which violates the law of conservation of energy.
And again, your gas generator is not generating electricity out from nothing, it is just transforming the stored energy from gasoline to electricity.
Gasoline is like its battery.

And those of you having a battle of wits over the laws of thermodynamics, no one really cares. Please stop.
