As for solar, you may want to start with using it for you hot water. A typical house uses 70gals of hot water per day. This would be the cheapest system to start with.
After that you may want to keep an eye on the recent solar->electric panels from a new Nano tech company. They use a special printer to print the cells rather than using expensive silicon.
It might.
I've heard of other people in new york state that have managed to heat entirely from solar heat year round.
It is possible to do even in winter.
