Are there other online resources for information and research?

I want to take a whole house approach.

In a 60 year old home with 30 year old natural gas HVAC system and hot water. Which are near end of life and need replacing.
Will be purchasing an EV sometime in the next few years.

Current thinking:
Solar panels maybe with water heating as well (Ive recently seem panels that have both)
Use the EV for battery storage perhaps together with additional battery storage.
HVAC is where I have the majority of questions and need to research.
Our home is small and its just two of us.
Geothermal might be nice but may not be possible on our small lot and in our location near the ocean.
Considering mini-split system(s). For example we like it cold when we sleep. Install a mini-split in our bedroom with conventional natural gas for the rest of the house. When we sleep shut down the conventional system and just use the mini-split to keep us comfy in the bedrooom.
