We are building a home in the midwest and considering geothermal as a way to heat and cool the building. Geothermal requires some electricity. Solar panels could be the source of that electricity, but I haven’t been able to find information of where that has been used or how it’s done.

you can defiantly put solar plates on your roof and it will save you a ton on they energy bill
and you can put clear window leanses on your windows so you can save on ac.
Wish you well with your project. My reaction to solar homes is whether there is a backbone of service people in the event of technical or mechanical problem? Most people are not scientists or tinkers from Popular Mechanics. It is difficult in 2008 to get a timely response from an electric an or plumber. I just question if the enthusiasm for Green is running too far ahead of any service backup for the typical family. I think Walmart’s solar initiative is practical approach. The other big box retailers and the thousands of government buildings can go solar. That is significant slice out of tradition electrical power generation use. The incremental approach to what viewed as real need, i.e, Green energy is the rational approach. I think anyone selling a solar house would have to demonstrate a service team in the community. Walmart, by contrast, can hire its own service team. Or contract out the service needed.
