The system my nieghbor built had thousands of gallons of water buried underground in tanks insulated with sand. It was heated all summer with solar collectors on the roof. It worked, but not well. We have winters that get to 30 below F, and not an awful lot of sun in the summer. His first winter, on cold days he could not get the house above 45 degrees F. He wound up putting an oil-burner in and eventually gave up on the system. Seems to be, he would have been no better - or worse off - by installing geo-thermal - which also does not work very well around here.
