I would have thought it would be eminently doable by someone of your calibre. The main problems you might encounter would likely be turbulence if too near a building and it might blow away in a severe gale. You would need to know the current expected with your average wind speed to check how long it would take to charge them up and may be to be prepared to charge them from the mains if there was a very calm period and you had a crop needing warmth.

I'm sure there would be plenty of free advice from companies wanting to sell you any parts and probably videos on youtube. I don't know if batteries need any protection from being over charged.
