I want the least expensive price. Is buying a solar panel better and a electrician the best cost. I have a three bedroom house.
I have a stove connected outdoors.

The best thing is to call a number of local solar installers and get free quotes from them. They will analyze your energy usage and make recommendations.
There is really no advantage to buying the equipment yourself and asking a pro to install it, any more than you would buy your own roofing materials to put on your roof. The pros can get better prices on everything.
Solar can save money, but it takes years to do so, just so you know.
I see the mention of a stove. You could have a solar cooker for low price, and save on cooking on sunny days.
Shirley, realistically, there are all sorts of variables involved. Among them, in addition to the consideration of the types and quantities of appliances you’ll want to be powered, you’ll have to consider the type of solar panels you want, since there are all sorts of types of panels, varying in quality and the amount of solar energy they create.
So, for starters, here is a link to section of a handyman site that is devoted to solar power information and it also includes other information on other alternative energies–I know generally there are all sorts of government grants and rebates, etc:

Your best bet is also to seek the advice of local electrical contractors, since they usually install them. Free estimates from local electrical contractors (who hook up solar panels, etc.) are the key to your success in this home improvement project of yours. Here’s a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in your project, and, ultimately, selecting a local electrical contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:

I’m sure you’ll find the information you need, specifically the tips, useful as it relates to being treated fairly by contractors and exploring the consumer-wise approach of getting free written estimates to find the best contractor in your area.
Hope this helps!
