To echo the sentiments above, a GSHP is a good option.
Solar-wise, it's great in summer and middling in winter.  I installed a 3.4kw array for about £1200 last year, and installed a diverter for the hot water tank for about £100.  In summer it can heat the tank and cover our electricity when the sun is out.
In winter it might make enough to run the house and a dehumidifier on a good day - or next to nothing on a bad.

DIYed?

Yes, I should have added that.

Cool.

Er, are you allowed to connect a DIYed system to the grid? (Assuming it is, for auto function)?

Yeah there's no reason you can't install and submit the g98 yourself.  No MSC certificate for export, but the cost savings more than make up for it.

Not even sure the g98 is a legal requirement as it's just an engineering recommendation, but no reason not to.
