What size wind generator do I need to replace my electricity-winter 800kwh summer 2400kwh?

I live in a very windy place and would like to consider a wind generator - I don't know how to figure out what output I would need - my electric usage monthly varies from 800KWh in winter to 2400KWh in summer.

For a wasteful family of 5, you need to make about 180 watts an hour every hour of the day, 365 days a year.. Your ‘padding’ for windless days will either be batteries (mildly expensive) or solar PV (exceptionally expensive).
Look up your local wind data and use that average wind speed and various prop sizes to calculate what type of system you want. Simply change the prop diameter and wind speed to see the approximate wattage and amperage you can expect for a 12 volt system from any reasonable airfoil. If you see a claim of more power from a smaller blade diameter, it probably isn’t accurate.
If you are running a 24 volt DC system, divide the amps by 2. If you are running a 48 volt DC system, divide the amps by 4.
1KW=1000 watts
1 HP=746 watts
