Select one that will meet your needs given the wind in your area. If you can sell energy back to the power company I would suggest you build your system slightly larger than you think you need so you can be a net producer in the electrical system. That would be helpful in the long run to the environment.

well if your talking about windmills. if u consume 20 kw a day, on average u are using 833 watts a hour. 20,000/24 hours= 833. so u would atleast need a 1k windmill. i would even say get a 2 or 3 k just b/c well.. its not everday the wind is blowing. so with the extra kilowatt it will make up for the not so windy days. but if thats too much or too big, a small 500 watt can be placed in your yard too.

You buy a windmill that makes as much power as you want to consume. The windmill should be rated by the manufacturer for how much power it will produce. But you do need to take into account how strong the wind must be for the windmill to make the rated power and how often wind in your area is that strong.
