Info on Solar energy in a home?

Where can i find information about building a home that uses mostly solar energy? Are there websites for this?

Why has Solar Energy not taken over yet?

Its our most abundant resource and it creates life instead of destroying it.
Big Oil and Big Coal were at one point VERY EXPENSIVE and then lowered in price when it became common and popular. Yet the pollution from both is at the very least bad for mankinds lives.
PVC cells come from Silicon which is the 2nd most prevalent resource on earth. The technology is NOT NEW. Its actually over 40 years old.
It can be put literally anywhere as it has nothing to do with temperature.
Sunlight is sunlight.
Many countries where there is less sun do not need solar PVC energy. Iceland where it is dark 3 months out of the year depend on geothermal and hydroelectric energy to power 100% of the country.
Hydroelectric,Wind,Nuclear and Geothermal energy can provide all the energy the USA needs in the evening hours.
A solar PVC system 3 times the size of Rhode Island can power the entire USA during the day. This easily fits in empty areas of Utah,Arizona and Nevada.
And there is room for more !!
Batteries are not needed as I described. The power would go directly into the grid after conversion thru an inverter.
We already displace much more area thru refineries, coal plants, natural gas plants, oil platforms and oil fields than solar installations would take up. No pollutants would come from the installations that would need MINIMAL MAINTENANCE compared to oil and coal installations.
Even on cloudy days we still receive a massive amount of sunlight. We would not be taking anything like oil or coal as a resource. Over 95% of sunlight is already wasted.
I was only refering to Iceland because of the complaint that solar does not benefit nations without sunlight all year. In Iceland this does not matter as all there energy comes from Hydro and Geothermal.
