It sounds nice, but that’s a virtual impossibility. Solar panels only work efficiently when the sun is shining, and at the right angle – perhaps 6 hours per day. In the northern US, you might only have 6 months of efficient electricity production.

So the big problem is what to do at night when there is no sun. You can’t store electricity, so you need some type of firm energy source, such as hydro, nuclear, or coal to make up for that shortfall.
