photovoltaic solar energy

How can I make my home self-sustainable in energy?
I’ve been thinking about solar energy – photovoltaic panels – but I’m having doubt’s about how effecient it will be. (I live in Denmark – Scandinavia).
Which photovoltaic cells can perform best under the weather-situation in Denmark, what is cheapest? What is the most effecient? What is the best solution?
Are there other viable solutions for me than turning to the sun?
How costly will it be for me to invest in renewable energisources for my house?
I understand that it’s an investment and not an expence.
Thank you for taking time to read my question.

overall been green is not cheap, it most likely cost you more to transform your house to renewable energy then the saving you will get from it, for the time you are left to live in it. if the house is new and you are young and it is built in then over the life expectancy of the house it might be a good investment.
just an example i have researched is geothermal in a vertical well would cost about 50 000$ in canada and with winter time at -20 to -40°C that mean i still have to heat up the house to get to a normal living temperature. it would cost less per winter for heating but still the investment would take decades to be profitable. the question is how long before you will save not saving the environment. if you wish to save the environment then expense is futile. i for one have not that kind of money.

Solar cell Photo Mugs
Solar cell. Close-up of the surface of a solar(photovoltaic) cell, which converts light intoelectrical energy. The cell is made from silicon(blue), a semi-conductor. Because the silicon is asemi-conductor, the energy of photons of light isenough to release electrons from the silicon. Theelectrons are collected through a grid of wires(yellow), forming an electrical current. This cellcontains numero... |
