Things as simple as removing screens from the south facing windows of your home to enhance solar space heating effects, or planting a deciduous tree on the south side of your home to shield your home from the summer sun, are very effective solar energy strategies.
From there you could extend all the way up to commercially available solar space heaters, solar water heaters, and solar voltaic systems, etc.

Get warm water in the summer by painting PVC pipe black, putting it on your roof and pumping water through it. The overall carbon footprint on solar panels is only now beginning to move toward the positive, and if you’re doing this for environmental reasons you should hold off on panels for a few more years when you can get a noticeably positive carbon footprint difference by making the change. If you want solar panels for present economic purposes and live some place where the government will pay for it, do it. Some places will wait for the government’s check, others want money up front, but you’ll get a lot of money towards it. If it isn’t free, it’ll be close to it, and you will save money on your bills.. more or less, depending on your longitudinal location and season. You might also want to look in to wind turbines. Particularly windy areas (like western new york or mountain regions) benefit greatly from wind turbines.

If you have a black roof that will make your attic hot (if you have one).
If you have an attic then in the summer most of the heat absorbed in your attic can help you heat the rest. Just use your air conditioner to push the hot air through the house. All you half to do is turn on it and the air recycles through the whole house. Hoped I help.
