Ideally I'd go for solar tiles or panels with a power wall of some kind for night time or poor weather. But it probably means ripping out a lot of the current services, pipes, rads etc. and replacing most of it, plus finding space for things in line with planning regs. Not a problem if designed in from scratch but not great for those of us with 60's houses that have already been knocked about a bit.

I'd love to have a well designed/insulated house with ground/air source, solar PV and power storage with appropriate room and water heating to be as independent as possible, especially ahead of the inevitable move to electric cars/bikes, but that really needs ground up planning as Seeker mentioned.
