danny,

to harvest that amount of energy, you are looking at an array very roughly between 12kw and 20kw, depending on the variables. 

you can play around with various numbers here:

Seriously though, can you specify why you would need to generate that much electricity?  The average American home uses around 30 kWh/day.  My 3200 sqft off-grid home uses about 6-8 kWh/day and generates that with 1.7 kW of wind/solar hybrid.  Conservation is MUCH cheaper than generation.  What loads can you reduce first?  What are your biggest loads?
