When it comes to considering solar, always thoroughly check that your house or the house you're looking at getting will have an unobstructed view to the sun, which generally means the South facing part of your roof if you live in the Northern hemisphere.
I have a house that I thought would have been good for solar panels but thanks to some tall trees that's not the case, and solar isn't economically feasible for me.
Another consideration is the local political climate. Many utility companies are trying to have it both ways by lobbying governments to set the rates at which they buy back the power you generate much lower than you pay them for the power they deliver. Don't let them get away with it.
There i a law here, at least in Greece... they finally let you produce and spent your own electricity... (valid from 2012)
So if there i as single case, for company buying lower your produced kw, then switch to autonomous, power production... but it will be a little more expensive, cause you will need the use of batteries... AND NO mining at this home :P
Wind is an option too. Honestly if you are buying a house you should choose the location where you know you can get sun, wind, or both.
Wind can be limited depending on location and there's the moving parts aspect too. As long as you have a good eye to the southern sky (in N hemisphere) you can install solar just about anywhere.
