I am not living in a house passively warmed by the sun because in winter when I want my house to be warm, the sun is obscured by heavy clouds and all my big "sun facing" windows just let out whatever warmth we have from other sources. Passive solar sounds great in theory, but in practice in a winter-rain climate it's a very bad design choice.
