I would like to do energy audits of homes and businesses and figure out how much energy they use and in what ways they could reduce energy output. Also I would like to install the things that I suggest, such as solar panels and solar water heaters, etc. I would like to work for myself. What kind of career would this be called and what kind of education would I have to get?

This would be called a low end, non-skilled job. People who do this work for solar panel dealers, and are typically trained on the job. It’s not much above minimum wage, and the only decent career path is in someday owning your own business.
For that, a business degree would suit you better than any tech degree.
An AS in electronics would prepare you for the job you described.
Did I mention that it’s a low end, low paid job, with not much future?
