You may want to consider solar heating as well - the photovoltaic cells are not really economically viable yet (unless you can get a grant or a tax rebate) but you would slash your water-heating bill by putting one of those type on a south-facing roof while it is being built - cheaper and easier than retrofitting to an existing roof.
