What are you talking about?

solar energy? insulation?

Do you want to add some solar panels to generate electricity?  This is very expensive and would take many years to recover the cost through energy savings.   If it was cost effective then everyone would be doing it.

One solar panel is about 600 or 700 dollars.  So it would depend on how many you need.  Also take into consideration that you would have to buy batteries and an adapter.
