Possibility of constructing an extension of the house to solar power?

We hope that the construction of a second the entire floor of our house and want the entire floor to be powered by solar panels, if possible. the south side of the house receives a huge amount of exposure to the sun, just wondering if you give us enough solar energy to operate all electrical and HVAC components of a complete second floor (just under 1,000 square feet). Any other advice would be We appreciated the early stages of working with an architect. This is a great answer, Thanks for the info so far. Therefore, it is worthwhile to tie in the network and not try have the independent extension due to the cost of the equipment to do? On the other hand, I now heating socket in the house yet. If I had the energy solar would make more sense to have the house, or extend at least warmed by electric heating or by means of a water heater that uses the power of the panels Solar?

If you build from scratch, you should consider installing radiant floor or wall panels. You can then use hot water to heat entire floor. It would be much more effective than trying to heat with solar energy. The radiant heating needs only 100-120 degrees F, the solar heat easily, or at least partially, reducing the amount of energy needed to heat the building. If you have the roof space left, you can install a small solar panels electric.
