A better long term addition for energy savings that has few moving parts and little if not any depreciation is heat pumps. They heat, they cool very efficiently and the maintenance is very minimal. Solar is a good idea in the right geographic location.
Already have relatively new heat pumps. My house has lots of roof space heading due south....it's a pretty good home for solar. Still would love to speak/chat/email with someone who has a system.
