Sorry, no. I've looked at solutions for my own house and there are two, both expensive far beyond any benefit:

1. Rip out tons of plaster, lath, and all window trim and baseboards. Apply insulating board and finish layer (wallboard and skim coat). Build and apply new wooden trim.
2. Remove all window trim. Apply insulating board, finish layer, and window trim as above. This is less expensive (not cheap), but also reduces the size of each room by 2-3 inches, requiring moving radiators.

External insulation on a brick house is essentially building a shell around the entire building, making the above alternatives look like a bargain.

This could be a real benefit to a company like Aptera that is working on super efficient cars covered in solar cells. They claim (up to) 40 miles per day of solar charging. Solar paint could provide more surface area (= more miles) at a lower cost than the cells they are using.
