Payback time; 35+ years. Waste of money.
Only if you get your 20kW - few places in the UK have a consistent wind
speed of 12m/sec or better.

You're lucky to get 9m/s anywhere never mind 12 ! About 5-6m/s in much of the
South East from when I looked at it last week.

Which brings you power down to 5kW tops - so only a 140 year payback...
