If I increase the efficiency of the power factor in my electric motor usage will that decrease the amount of solar cell I need on my house?
Answers:
Power factors like better insulated buildings and cars? Sure!!
Better thermal-insulated buildings profess constant temperature longer, requiring less power to operate air conditioners, heaters, etc.
Reduced power lead to smaller-output and more efficient Ac's and heaters, higher percentages of solar panel power, and so on, for the homeowner, and reduced kilowatts from the power companies, reduced utility bills, reduced pollution from power plants, and frequent other environmental savings, which helps "Green" the planet!!

Yes, but depending how bad your power factor is make it economical or not.
Motors tend to have a fairly poor power factor and solar power is expensive so a few capacitors may pay. Your inverter may also hold an effect.
Low power factor means higher currents for the same power because the current is not surrounded by phase with the voltage.
