I looked into one of these thermal systems for my own place but the outlay is just massive for the 11 weeks months a year I really need heat, and the rest of the year it’s just a stupidly oversized hot water heater that is cooking my glycol and DC pumps.

I ended up paneling up and putting a dumb 9kw resistive boiler for my hydronic floors. The house slab is the battery and although inefficient in terms of strict energy efficiency, winter sun on my cheap pallet of panels dumps plenty into the resistance coils all day. I do have to light the stove if we get a snow storm for a day or two though
